    Very cool -be a class screensaver


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 620 ✭✭✭Kêrmêttê


    Wow! That is pretty amazing... wonder if you can get it as a screensaver... I'd love to have it tbh :D

    On further investigation of that site, one can download that as a screensaver... but it costs $19.95 :eek:
    It's not THAT cool... FREE would be really cool :p

    Usually, the "how cool is this!" threads lead me to the answer, "Not very", but i have to admit, that IS pretty damn cool.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,819 ✭✭✭rymus

    yeah its pretty cool alright, just goes to show how small we all are in a huge universe, there are things out there i tell ya.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,745 ✭✭✭StupidLikeAFox


    Or how big we are compared to quarks etc? The mind boggles. I say we are all just average size


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,225 ✭✭✭JackKelly

    When it was flying into the tree, I was thinking it was going to end up with something funny like a squirrel.

    Ok, maybe it was just me.
