from the dairy farm

There's a game on the television and it's a pretty big deal, but I really don't know what's going on. There's the threat of delay due to a tornado watch, and that's all I really picked up. John's making beef soup and I'm browsing mind-blowing facts, such as:

1) This is what our skies would look like if Jupiter were as close to us as the moon:


2) The pyramids were as old to the Romans as the Romans are old to us.


3) The time that passed between Stegosaurus in the Jurassic and Tyrannosarus in the Cretaceous is FAR longer than the time that has passed between Tyrannosaurus and us.

4) Here's the ACTUAL size of Africa (and we've all but forgotten it exists, it's just that place ravaged by slavery and abandoned in a poverty-wracked shadow of its old self):



These facts are far more interesting than a Bengals-Browns game, and I may just spend the whole afternoon looking up cool facts. And eating Subway (next on the list).
