The Known Universe. Or, in Old Spice speak... "I'm on a planet".

This may remind you that really, that stuff she said to you... and he did yesterday without thinking about you..., and all that stuff you worry about every day that might happen, is... well...frankly in comparison with this, lets just say, not that important.

Or as one YouTube commenter cheerily replied;

You're 1 person out of 7 million on 1 planet out of 8 planets in 1 star system out of 100 billion star systems in 1 galaxy out of 100 billion galaxies and you are.... ENORMOUSLY insignificant.

I'm on a planet.

TED#2: A stroke of genius.

Continuing this short series of my favourite TED talks; Jill Bolte Taylor, as a brain scientist, got a unique opportunity to study her own brain, as she had a massive stroke, and watched her brain functions, motion, speech, and self-awareness all shut down one by one. An amazing TED talk.
