Bigger than that

b1-66er: EVERYTHING you think about for the rest of your life will be smaller than this...

D4rw1n: Awesome. I rarely use that word literally 

b1-67er: Surprising uncertainty on some of those numbers

D4: Yes. I had the same reaction. I guess the very large scale of those larger numbers compared to our infinitesimally short lifespans makes it hard to measure

"WHAT'S THAT!?"
"The reason we tore the wall down.
 <I look at him, terrified> 
Don't worry, it's just like pest control...They'll all go away."
