How does a T-Rex brain measure up? Get your jugs out…

Not too much as it turns out. This great concept by MAID student Harry White tries to use unfamiliar units such as “half a human brain” etc as a way to “better conceptualize certain scientific constructs”.

He has also created a recipe book that uses these units. How funny does that sound!

“Put flour in to the bowl equal to the amount of plutonium in a bomb and mix with half a human brains worth of water”

Dumb that down Delia!
