    The length of a football field
    The size of a piece of paper
    Penises
    The length of your foot
    Your height
    The size of a window
    The size of your house
    The length of your car
    The length of your bike
    A circle
    A square
    A triangle
    Any shape for that matter
    I'll stop there.  :) :)

  • One of these things is not like the others.

    So true! There is an inconsistant variable on overall size there.  Like their performance, they change at "the blink of an eye."
    I have found string to be the best form of measurment for this item.

    You can't measure a black hole nor the infinity of time.

    Sure you can. Infinity is a measurement.  It has no end.  Simple.


    A black hole is immense.  Easy peasy

    And time, is not infinite.   It is only measured in the physical which is finite.

    Here's a few.  Your foot. Your hand. Your head. Your heart.  Spaghetti.  Dish towels.

    I love this question. I used to ask a similar one to my students: "How big is this?" 95% of the answers were size in inches. Every answer here used a linear measurement. When you say 'measure' do you mean length, mass, distance, or volume? We can attempt to give anything at least two of those units.

    Then one must choose. I forgot 'area'.

    I was thinking anything that has a begining and an end. But then RIP brought in black holes and she has a point.
    We live and think life as a story book.  It is the only way we can set boundries and understand life as we know it.  
    Reality, to us, has a begining and an end.
    We are born.  We die. The end of life in our vessels on this planet.
    The beauty of what RIP said is when you grasp the concept of NOT being able to put that many zeros or size, you are able to grasp the concept of space and time.
    You succumb to the fact that there are things WAY beyond your brains comprehension at this "moment and time."  You win the battle of trying to figure out everything there is to figure out.
    Instead, you love the day you are living and living to the best of your ability, hopefully.
    On that note, I've got a date with my job in Malibu at 10.  It takes an hour to get there and I must pick up some plants and flowers along the way.
    Gotta run.  As always, it is a pleasure sharing with you.
    Love, Merlin :) :)
