Some of the other xkcd comics that might be of interest to this group: Logarithmic map of the observable universe: http://xkcd.com/482/ And a couple on space elevators (second one a NSFW word): http://xkcd.com/536/ http://xkcd.com/697/ xkcd is one of my favorite comics. Make sure you hover your mouse over the comic, the alt-text is worth it. Dan On Jan 31, 2010, at 12:20 PM, Richard Tenney wrote:

Anyone see today's xkcd? Almost put a tear in my eye.
