On Miniatures

People always like things that are just smaller versions of regular things. Breakfast pastries, electronics, golf.

But sometimes I look at a fly and I think, "Oh shit, that little thing has all the same organs I do; a heart and a stomach and gastrointestinal, nervous and pulmonary systems," and I freak out a little.

Then I found out that flies are basically fluid filled sacs and everything just sort of sloshes around inside them, and then I feel a little let down by the standard example that always spawns this line of thought.

Then I think of a baby and I think, "Oh shit, that little thing has all the same organs I do."
