Same energy:

In episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes that same rib twice in succession yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we, to believe that this is some sort of a, a magic xylophone or something?

Not if you want it to stay extra virgin

Shotgun gauge is wonky, so it's not a given that the number would just be a diameter in units they are familiar with.

Yeah, it's not intuitive that bigger gauge numbers = narrower diameter unless you've specifically worked with wire or shotguns before.

That still makes no sense. Is the commenter surprised to learn that a 0.223 inch caliber is approximately 0.223 inches? That a .45 inch caliber is about .45 inches? Yes, that's how units work.

Yeah, anyone who has biked in city streets will tell you that the buses are much wider than even the big SUVs.
