    That video shows Britain to be the centre of the planet. Quite right too.

    I've often thought about writing down the philosophical thoughts that occur to me in ascending planes as the towns and cars and people below shrink and become ant-like, but fortunately I usually remember that you should never write down the philosophical thoughts that occur to you in ascending planes as the towns and cars and people below shrink and become ant-like.
