		<itunes:summary>This is the podcast for those of you who who like their commentary to be barely entertaining, and your host to be only marginally informative.  At least he has positive self regard, and a handy robot overlord as a segment announcer.</itunes:summary>

<p>In a <a href="http://www.smugbaldy.com/2008/02/07/taking-perspective-with-universcale/">previous post</a> we looked at scales of measurement &#8211; from the very very large, to the incredibly minute.  In a similar vein we have <a href="http://www.giantstars.de/" rel="nofollow">Giant Stars</a>, which provides us with a sense of just how big our biggest problems really are.  As I said before, I find it reassuring when I can get reminders like this of where we stand in the natural pecking order.</p>
