    No it wouldn't :confused:

    Unless you're talking about population.

    In which case you're still wrong :pac:

    If ants where the same size as humans they would walk at about 180mph if humans where the size of ants they would walk at .005 meters and hour.

    They retracted that claim from the nobel winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report. There is no proof, they retracted a lot of claims from that report.

    But the gist is right we are all going to die.

    The true scale of the solar system, we are use to seeing it nicely laid out on a textbook. But a text book is far to small to show its true scale. If you put Earth on a scale of the size of a grain of rice, the sun would be 300 metres away and the size of a 3 story house Jupiter about a mile away and the size of a beach ball, Neptune a mile and half and the size of a football and Pluto would be 2 and half miles away and the size of this fullstop. Also 99% of the matter in the solar system in contained in the Sun.

    That puts into perspective how gloriously successful the Voyager missions were, truly one of mans greatest achievements.
    and yo momma would still be visible

    The most influential man who shaped the events of the 2oth century was Gavrilo Princip, (who the hell is he), he was the Serbian nationalist who, by a stroke of luck, shot Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Then a Austria declared war on Serbia, then Russia declared war on Austria then you got the escalation to the first world war which caused WW2 and the events of WW1 was a prime reason for communism emerging in Russia and then half the world.

    :) Braking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck :(
    That is derived from when a servant broke a master's mirror it would take 7 years wages to replace the broken mirror. No bad luck for the same thing now.

    yes i often tell people about this man and his huge impact on history and people dont get it, but it was such a fluke that he managed to kill him , imagine if he hadnt , the world would be a different place and i wouldnt be here, cause my great grandmothers first husband died in WW1 and the man she married next fathered my nan, so he even impacted on my very existance
