If you're ever in need of a reminder just how small and insignificant we as a species are, here's a photo (Sno was asking me to post it since I've already posted it on another forum). It'll really make you re-evaluate just how tiny an island Earth truly is.
Since this photo is REALLY FREAKING BIG, I've linked to it. This way it won't kill anyone who has a less than high-speed connection to the Internet (consider it the Sonikku Safety Switch).
