Cerean n. | 1883 | Sizes of Worlds and Their Inhabitants in Notre Dame Scholastic 5 May 531/1 This little world measures 160 miles in diameter, and since a manβs height (specific gravity aside) is inversely proportional to the world on which he lives, the people of Ceres must stand 50 times taller than those of the earth. [...] An ordinary Cerean measures nearly 300 feet in height and 75 across the shoulders; he weighs 400,000 lbs., and can lift 500 tons. His voice sounds like thunder and his breath like a storm.
Cerean adj. | 1883 | Sizes of Worlds and Their Inhabitants in Notre Dame Scholastic 5 May 531/2 The soldiers have no need of massive cannon for their work of destruction. They hurl huge boulders for miles along the land and so swiftly as almost to resist the force of gravity [...] the Cerean warriors, neglecting all other weapons, gather up and hurl whatever lies in their way.
