I was searching for tropes about stuff being "the size of Texas" which seems to be a standard unit of measure. I came across this quote about the asteroid in the film
Armageddon:
Quote:
Roger Ebert:
"OK, say you do succeed in blowing up an asteroid the size of Texas. What if a piece the size of Dallas is left? Wouldn't that be big enough to destroy life on Earth? What about a piece the size of Austin? Let's face it: Even an object the size of that big Wal-Mart outside Abilene would pretty much clean us out, if you count the parking lot."

That was awesome.
