- [Graph with Y axis using an arrow indicating mass from 10-30 kg to 1030 kg on a logarithmic scale and X axis, also on a logarithmic scale labeled "Lifetime" running from 10-20 to 1020 seconds.]
- [There are three elliptical blobs on the graph, one on the lower left corner labeled "Mesons" another on the upper right corner labeled "Planets", and the last one in the middle (1kg mass, 1s lifespan) labeled Flying water balloons. There are two bidirectional arrows pointing from the center blob to the two other blobs.]
- [To the left of the chart are Cueball and Megan. Megan is throwing a water balloon, and Cueball is dodging from one. To the right are Ponytail and Hairy. Ponytail is preparing to throw a water balloon, and Hairy is slipping in a puddle of water.]
- [Caption below the panel:]
In the annual water balloon fight, meson particle physicists and planetary scientists are usually evenly matched, since they're both equally far outside their areas of expertise.

That "Flying Water Balloons" bubble reaches from about 10-3 to 102 kg. That's 1mg (kinda' hard to manipulate) to 100kg (very hard to lift, especially without breaking the balloon). -- Dtgriscom (talk) 16:59, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- Firstly: you seem to mix-up g and kg. Secondly: Water balloons can leak, assuming the 10-3 (which is 1g) wasn't measured while it popped in flight.172.71.99.171 10:39, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
