I have always found this kind of thing fascinating.
This short clip from MetaCafe puts things somewhat into perspective.
So, the next time you’re feeling a bit small in this big ‘ol world know that in the
grand scheme of things, you are.
Just being a wiseass.
Enjoy the clip.

I liked that video. Puts things in perspective (in a good way) for me.
I liked the video… it is true we are tiny… yet we know not the scale at which we measure life… insignificant? I do not know… there are still to many questions surrounding life… these videos do make one think… indeed.
I once asked my dad something along the lines of “What’s the most important thing to know?”
And his reply was “We are all small.”
It may be the most important thing he ever told me.
We definitely appear to be insignificant, but things like this always make me even more amazed that we exist at all and wonder why nothing even remotely close to us has been discovered. Just gets the brain into overdrive.
And all of that is up there – waiting to fall on top of us – - -
