Speaking of asteroids, I remember a German-humour cartoon-strip shown
several years ago during someone's presentation at a science communication
conference in Cologne. (Which proves that humour can help memorability.)
You have to imagine the German accent.
1st person: (Looking down into a mine-shaft) "Vhy are you living down zat
hole?"
2nd person: (Looking up) "Meteorites."
1st person: "But a meteorite iss very improbable."
2nd person: "For me, safety iss more important zan probability."
