LOL nice, I love the fact that, \"we're probably not in the center of the universe.\" Great post.

Now that I look at it farther, I am just another rubik's cube.
It's never good to wake up in the shrubs naked, you either got way too drunk, or your azz is a werewolf.

This is very much something worth looking at. You ever watch some of the stuff they have regarding the universe on the science channel?

I watch whenever I get a chance. I especially like the great graphics to show what is happening as they explain, say, the massive jet of matter spewing out of a super massive black hole or a neutron star.

They had a show hosted by Morgan Freeman called 'Through the Wormhole' or something. It had a lot of great topics and I hope they bring it back again soon.

However:
There's a mistake in the relative size of the water molecule's twin hydrogen atoms to the stand alone hydrogen atom.
(get them both on screen at once - they are significantly different sizes, they should be the same)
