Perspective

Here is a nifty little diagramming program that gives you an idea of scale from the tiniest particle to our galaxy and beyond. We are really a speck of a speck of a speck. For example I was reading somewhere that the 3 star in Orions belt, Betelgeuse, is 600 times the size of our sun.

Now this is really interesting.
I love it when you give us interesting facts. I love when you
find things we would never know.
Keep these kinds of facts in front of your readers.

Quotes

At a certain stage the realization strikes through that one must either live outside of society's bonds or die of absolute boredom. There is no future or freedom in the circumscribed life and the only other life is complete rejection of the rules. There is no longer room for the soldier of fortune or the gentleman adventurer who can live both within and outside of society. Today it is all or nothing. To save my own sanity I chose the nothing.
