Title: Items brought to life at a MILLION times magnifica
Post by: bijou on January 14, 2011, 08:15:21 AM: Images showing the everyday objects taken for granted by householders have been brought to life at a MILLION times magnification. Using the world's most expensive kind of microscope - a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) - scientists have revealed the characteristics in miniature, giving a tour of the home as a tiny new world. Stunningly detailed 3D pictures as you've never seen before reveal the hidden secrets of items found around the home.

It looked like the cheap newsprint paper they used to give us to write on back when were in kindergarten. You know the stuff; the paper with chunks of wood still in it.

(Damn, I love old Bill Cosby lines.)

Get some wood build it
300 cubits by 80 cubits by 40 cubits

Right!
Whats a cubit?

Lets see a cubit...I used to know what a cubit was
Well don't worry about that Noah
When you get that done
Go out into the world and
Collect all of the animals in the world by twos
Male and female, and put them into the ark

Right!
Who is this really?
