Where's the restaurant?

I was looking for the restaurant at the end of the universe, but they seemed to have omitted that.

This is pretty cool!

All this scaling...

All this scaling up and down has really made me want to play Katamari Damacy!

It is okay,

It is okay, but you can't really compare anything
because you can't put the items next to each other.
Try out http://Merzo.net
It is a sci-fi Starship dimensions chart
The only down size, is that you have to use IE to drag the items around.

Nice app, but serious bugs (no pun intended)

Tried navigating the thing, but it kept going crazy and wouldn't work right. No
navigation ability at all. Hope they fix it soon so I can really try it

If you appreciate this, Charles and Ray Eames made a spectacular film examining the very same concept back in the 70's, titled "The Powers of Ten". Worth checking out: www.powersof10.com
