[Random Factor #28] It was a small world after all?

Hey folks! Today's edition might be a shocker.

I am no geologist, but I did think I knew some
basics about my home planet... for example,

"It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it."
- Steven Wright

But how big is the world anyway?

Now, here's a really tough riddle for you...

To answer true, answer these questions two...

1) What are the biggest puzzle pieces on earth?
2) What does the puzzle form?

* hint, it's 3 dimensional and nearby

Got a guess? Well, check out...

until next time my friends,

Some Guy

[The Random Factor #27] 1 in a million

If you say somebody is 1 in a million,
you're saying that there are 1,317 of
them in China.

fyi,

Some Guy

[The Random Factor #26] Now on the other side of the sun

hey folks, i'm a little bit excited cause this
week marks a full 6 months since we kicked off
The Random Factor. Yeah!

It took me too many years to finally get this
thing rolling... which reminds me of something
a wonderfully funny and insightful friend used
to say.

"Initiative comes to those who wait."
- Chuck Kilmon

Ha, I love it, funny and true. Which begs the
question, is there anything you've been waiting
to get started on?

"Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it,
boldness has genius, power, and magic in it."
- W.H. Murray (not Goethe according to http://german.about.com/library/blgermyth12.htm)


I support you,

Some Guy
