      I think it’s because people are so stupid, they have no ide what measures mean.

    2. It’s just descriptive writing. 42cm would be more objective, but also far drier.

      A pizza is something you’ve had your *face* near. The writer wants you to not just know that this thing’s eyes are far larger than yours, but to feel it viscerally as well.

      The other comparison, a school bus, was chosen for similar reasons. You’ve not only been close to bus, you’ve probably been *inside one*. Suddenly you’re thinking about how small you are. Small and edible.

      The squid is bigger than the width of 1219 pencils combined, and given by the size I would say the eyes are around the width of 22-30 pencils or higher combined.

      Wait, bigger than a school bus for handicapped kids or bigger than a school bus for non-handicapped kids?

      Even though I’m not a fan of these, but to play the devil’s advocate here, it gives an immediate visualisation of the size in a simple manner. A lot of us cannot easily grasp how much 42 meters is without equipment, but a school bus or large pizza is something we have come across so many times that it’s easy to visualise
