A REALLY BIG question...

HOW DO I CATCH UP?

Yikes! Between my own busy/craziness, and the post crossing outage, I find myself behind in posting.

So, I decided to post all the TPQs I had to Post Crossing, and then to start fresh with the current crop of cards! So, here, restarting the project is a question from Lisa in Great Britain:

Do you think we are alone in the universe?

As I've said before (at least I think I said it before): I HOPE NOT. The universe would turn out to be an awfully boring place if it was just filled with Earth creatures!

Bigger? Smaller?

Cat, from Australia, and her friends were pondering this question over dinner:

If every atom was really a tiny universe, are humans giants or are we also just tiny atoms in a tiny universe making up something infinitely huge?

Well, if the size of our EGOs has anything to do with this puzzle, we are the biggest biggest. I'm kinda hoping for small-ish. I'd like to think of something more immense than the human ego.

Sky do?

I have been told, by parents and other relatives, that I was an inquisitive child, and I like to think that I still am! As a child, before I could speak in complete sentences, I would still ask lots and lots of questions, using the ever-helpful word "do?"

I would ask, for instance,

Sky do?

as in "what is the sky for? what does the sky do?"

Well, young Eva (who is four) and I are clearly kindred spirits because she wonders...

Why is the sky blue if the universe is dark and black?

Sky blue do?
