… because I assure you that EVERYTHING I post is hysterically funny!

John Kennedy: [Trillian: There are more important things in the universe than your ego.
Zaphod: Really? Then I want them hunted down and shot.]

So should one start with their wife and children?

John Sabatta: ["Science!" Bah!

When I feel bad, I find that what helps me the most is hate.]

I must confess that I find this comment rather bewildering coming from you Mr. Sabotta.

The Java applet you linked to is actually based on a short film called “Powers of Ten” that was made by Charles and Ray Eames, a couple more famous for their mid-century modern laminate furniture. It’s a great film and you can get a DVD of it from Netflix.

Chuang-Tzu, speaking a few thousand years ago: "There is nothing under the canopy of heaven greater than the tip of an Autumn spikelet. A vast mountain is a small thing." Or even more apt: "With the small, to strive to exhaust the great necessarily lands him in confusion, and he does not obtain his object. How then should one be able to say that the tip of a hair is the ne plus ultra of smallness, or that the universe is the ne plus ultra of greatness?" Two links.
