Size matters

I often tell people who believe in UFO's that if they truly had any inkling of the size of the solar system or the galaxy (or even the universe) that they would stop believing such silly things.

Then while scanning for information on the possible asteroid hit on Mars and I see this:

and I see in graphic detail that the fundamental problem with my species is that its allergy to intelligence and rational thinking is much worse than I had imagined.

Just to make it simple as I can for you folks, Mars is a really, really, really, really, really long way from earth, so lets just leave it at that.

The good news here is that if this is what passes for science in the land of Iran then we can expect that their "nuclear" program is really just a building sized Kenner EZ-bake oven with a huge 10000 watt light bulb inside. It should be too hard to find, but why bother. The cakes those things make taste like crap anyway.

The bad news is, its not just Iran who has a problem with scale:

Well, yes at some point in the future it could hit the earth - maybe. Of course at some point in the future the earth will burn into a cinder when the Sun goes nova, in 5 billion years! But hey, its not like any of us will be there when it happens.

Oh, and if you really want to freak out a UFO fanatic, visit "Heavens-above", put in your location information and look for Iridium Flares. If you schedule your time just right, you can have your UFO "Pigeon" in the right place to experience one of these events. After they get good and worked up,convinced that theyve just seen the latest anal probe team sent from Zeta Reticuli, you can tell them all about gold old fashioned satellite telephones.

Dont tell me I don't know how to have fun on a Saturday night. A nice clear starry night out in the country, a few bottles of Guinness and a bunch of loopy UFO believers is like a trip to Disneyland for me.
