So perhaps the Ohio State-Michigan Game may not be quite as significant as we thought?

I LOVE stuff like this. It is truly mind boggling. Given the choice between the two, I would rather know all the answers to this universe and others at the end of my life than an pass on to an eternal afterlife with questions still unsolved.

Yeah it was a pretty good show. Surprised that it went 2 hours but it definitely did not seem that long

Did anyone watch the program on Discovery last night about the Universe? I DVR'd it while America: The Story Of Us was on. It was rather phenomenal and made me feel extremely insignificant haha

It's depressing knowing I'm the baddest man on such a small planet.

Our Galaxy is but a tiny pimple on the ass of the universe.

I have often felt like that with regard to the rest of the human race in general.

The human mind can't really even comprehend how small we are.

Well that's good, because when you think about it--those pictures provide some perspective. But we can't really even comprehend how big our own sun is.

I don't know about that. Carl Sagan seemed to have nailed it.
