"...each the size of "a Mini Cooper automobile," and now are

Is that the original Mini Cooper S, which was a mini car, or the
laughingly named BMW Mini Cooper, which is the size of a small
house?

I long for a simpler day when everything could be compared to a
football field or a VW Bug...


Hey, it's still the same football field, only now it's metric.

Not in North America. NFL fields are still 100 yards from goal line to goal
line, and 53.33 yards from side line to side line
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America..._and_players); CFL
fields, 110 and 65 yards
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...all_field.png).
