Wow I downloaded that to save it if anyone wants a copy of it let me know.. I have chills, I suddenly feel very small and insignificant. Well, you know even more so than before.

Amazing. Certainly puts things in perspective.

Kinda makes you feel silly to use the word "big", doesn't it?

I will give a cookie to whomever can identify the source of this quote without google.

"Space," it says, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mindbogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space"

Yes it was replaced, but if you go to the bottom of the page and click the left arrow you can go back and see it. It is labeled January 20 2010, so just keep clicking the back arrow until you find it.

hate2work, thanks for posting the link.

(if you scroll all the way down on the page and click on "Archives" you can see all previous days postings. Enjoy!) sorry for the repeat, someone already posted that info above.

btw, have you guys seen Carl Sagan's COSMOS ? If you are someone who enjoys and understands the scientific objective perspective of the universe and evolution then you've got to see this documentary. Its amazing. Its available from Netflix for renting as well as Instant Play.
