This measurement is horribly relative and likely wrong, but assuming a person was 10,000 kilos and it caused them to average out at around 3 meters tall for some reason, their generalized width would be around ~8.09 meters, which is longer than seven golf clubs or the pedestal for the 'christ the redeemer' statue.
please don't ask what math I did to get these numbers, especially given that it's such a relative thing depending on weight allocation that I may as well not have.

The combined weight for both at the end is actually closer to 10,000 kg (22,046 lbs). According to my rough calculations assuming half of an elipsoid with 1.75 m of height, 3 m wide and 4 m deep, they are hovering above 22,800 lbs. As for the multiples you describe, 10,000 metric tons would be one thousand times as much mass... so already pretty hard to fathom.
I know it is fun to just throw around numbers and prefixes like that, but it is quite fascinating if you take the time to calculate these quantities and put them into context. Take 10,000 Giga Tons. That is 1x10^13 tons. Or in other words, a one followed by thirteen zeros. That sounds pretty big, right? How big is that? How does that compart to the size of the Earth? It is not even one percent. Nowhere near that!! In fact it is 0.0000002% of the total mass of our planet.
So yeah. Moral of the story. Math is cool. And the Earth is VERY big.

I live for funny bits!! I'm glad you decided to include it at the last minute, even if it was to fill up space. The other speech bubbles were spot on as well, adding to the playfulness. The announcer was definitely why I like this so much (and your softening waistlines ofc X3)!
