well, since you mention it (but I do really hate to change topics, I want to
know more about Dewey), here are four pictures that look similar, but which
represent very different time-scales

   (the "universe" --from the point of view of dark matter)

http://www.sciencephoto.com/image/159976/350wm/E0740041-Coloured_satellite_image_of_the_Earth_at_night-SPL.jpg
   (the distribution of city lights at night over the earth)

   (the endoskeleton of a cell)
