Oooh, I just did.

Incredible. That's probably the only way I'll ever get to see the Sistine Chapel, but wow it almost looks like you're there.

That's pretty cool!

I was there in the 80's but it was before they cleaned it up, so it was all drab and soot covered. And it was very crowded. Like a freakin' mosh pit of pilgrims and nuns. Nothing like this.

Words you never thought you'd hear in succession in your entire life.

Classic, that's a fantastic link... I've not seen anything like it.

I still can't get over the (cleaned) new colors. One thing that struck me was
that I don't remember anyone pointing out about the tile designs of the floor !

Another thing that impressed me was the number of images on the walls and ceiling.
No wonder Charlton Heston was so pissed with the Pope.

Thanks.
My daughter found it. She was GLUED to her computer last night.
After almost an hour, I finally asked her what she was looking at and she sent me the link.
She is planning her dream family vacation for us to all go see it together.

There's a class action lawsuit that you may or may not get properly notified about. Go here to read the notification and print a claim form to mail in. Counting up all the years between both of us and all four kids... it comes out to over $1000 for us. Worth looking into.

Woot! I had forgotten all about this until the mail came today. We actually got a check! Only ended up with about $400, but still. Free money two years later is still free money.

Congratulations!

Good for you guys. That will more than cover a few small plastic containers.

[glatt]

That's freaking awesome. Woot!

This is a zoomable visualisation of scales from quantum foam to the estimated universe.

Like whoaaaaaah, dude.

That is fascinating... very well done.

I think I was most impressed/surprised by the relatively long
scroll-distance between the Hydrogen atom (-11.7) --> Uranium nucleus (-14.4).

Also, the nutrino is a little bugger, isn't it.

Heh... every object has a description, if you click on it:

Beach Ball
80 centimeters

Beach balls were invented in 1938, which was over 70 years ago. Beach balls are also colorful. In addition, they are very fun! The only beach ball that isn't fun is the beach ball of death.
