This slideshow illustrates what an insignificant little spec
the earth is in the scheme of things. Makes me appreciate
earth a bit more, given the rarity of life in the universe.
Hope you don't mind me posting it in the thread.

in the future, Uranus has been renamed to get rid of that
joke "once and for all"?

yeah, I was wondering if it was supposed to be that small..
but I've seen something similar to this before so I was
still able to follow it in the tiny version. I always enjoy
seeing this sort of stuff, though. I wonder if, perhaps, in
a couple thousand years, we'll be comparing earth to
colonies in other star systems. Probably not, but it's fun
to dream. :]

.. my head hurts.
