# Hopefully this should help.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

The article starts on the right of the picture and works its way left.

*edit* Can't get b3ta to link to the right article. Might be something to do with the parentheses. Li'l help here, people?

Just click "length" on the right. It'll get you there fine.

# David Milliband.
There's a really good bit of text that I can't find right now. It's Hugh Laurie talking about analysiing jokes. It's like, he says, taking a hammer to an exquisite crystal vase, picking up all the pieces and laying them on a table, and showing people, saying "If you arranged these pieces into a vase-like shape, they'd make a really good crystal vase".

I have broken the vase. For that, I am sorry.
