Egads. The size comparisons of all those planets and stars blew my mind. I believe that this is the HD version of the famous .gif that is floating about on the Interwebs of a series of planets being compared in size as well.

It looks like a monkey slug to me, which is the caterpillar to the hag moth.

Haha that cigarette trick was awesome, and I liked the punchline.

I agree the choir thing was marginally cool. Even the thunderstorm was ruined by applause, and the Toto song was like an upper cut to my sensibilities.

The thunderstorm-sounding choir was nifty until they started singing. There were some serious off-key things going on there.

And I want to know how cigarette guy figured out he could even do that trick.

The holes in the back of that creature reminds me very much of photos I've seen of what's left behind when a tarantula molts. Warning, this photo's kinda oogy.

Maybe it's something that's mid-molt?

Those giants shouldn't humble you. Your atoms are made up of particles that came from those giants.

That planet and star size is very humbling... And then it didn't even show the size of the galaxies that are yet so much bigger... And then they didn't even show the galaxy-clusters that again are X-fold bigger....

No indeed we puny humans ain't the center of anything...

It's a caterpillar! You can see the head.

Love the confused-sounding dog in the background. "What the hell IS that thing? Do I bite it? Will it bite me?"
