I did stuff like this when I was in PR and agriculture ... there are things like distance to moon, how many times you can circumnavigate the earth, how many one dollar bills would line up (like LA to NY), comparisons to height (Empire State Building, Leaning Tower of Piza, an appropriate one these days <g>) ..... an aspirin in the ocean (going the other direction) ...
