It's hard to keep perspective in a place as big as the universe. I thought this video did a great job of showing us just how big things can get out there. And with Earth being so small, we can imagine how this minor clerical error could occur. A memorable passage from one of my favorite books -- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...
Trillian: You idiot! You signed the order to destroy Earth!
Zaphod: I did?
Arthur: He did?
Trillian: Love and kisses Zaphod? You didn't even read it, did you?
Zaphod: Well, I'm president, I don't have a lot of time for reading.
Trillian: My whole planet destroyed because you thought someone wanted your autograph?
