I have the strangest urge to give you a wedgie and stuff you in a locker after reading that.

Luckily, I've always been cool enough (though probably just barely) to have never received a wedgie or be stuffed in a locker :D You're welcome to try, but I'd just scare you off with the power of curly-braced single-line if-statements ;p

Hey now, I don't necessarily give into every errant urge that comes on. :laugh: True story, my first Halloween at Microsoft I showed up and thought I wound up at a Star Trek convention. They'd improve developer productivity dramatically if they'd localize Visual Studio to Klingon.

Starship Size Comparison[^] It has Star Wars, Star Trek, Warhammer 40K, Halo, Mass Effect, Marvel, Aliens, Dr. Who, Starcraft, even Wall-E... Pretty much every sci-fi up to 2021 is represented :omg: No doubt A LOT of time and trouble went into making this and it's awesome! :D I've only heard of probably half of this and I've seen maybe only 10%, so there's work to be done. First on my list: Sex Vixens from Space ;p (small ship in the bottom right bottom right, left of the big purple-ish space ship from Sins of a Solar Empire)

I wish it was better presented. I've seen a lot of Warhammer 40k on social media these days. I have no clue what it is and don't know if I need to invest time into looking into it.

To the best my eyes can see, there is no TARDIS. There are other Dr. Who ships like "Judoon rocket" and "SS Madame de Pompadour", but no TARDIS. The scale of the image might explain that: 1pixel = 10m, so the outside of TARDIS would be less than a pixel. But we all know it's bigger on the inside. :)

If I recall correctly, a code witch can be repulsed by showing her Miracle Whip. (Not that I'd dare try it...) Best wishes everyone - Craig

Same. The scale between the smallest and the largest is so big, trying to find anything is a complete waste of time. This is why the logarithmic scale was invented, but that would still be hard to follow.

I do find it pretty repulsive.

Of course the ideal would be to display them in a similar way to this... Scale of Universe[^] Planck length to observable universe in one image!

Agreed, the scale makes it kind of complex. That thing from Independence Day is 24km and almost everything else is very tiny in comparison. I think it was designed to be a poster, so an interactive website that allows you to zoom in and out is not an option. Although I think searching for that one spaceship you like and finding all kinds of ships along the way is part of the charm.

Warhammer (Fantasy) is a tabletop game that features all kinds of miniatures. It's set in a high fantasy setting like Lord of the Rings. I don't know how it works because I've never played it, but no doubt you've seen the grey miniatures sometime (even if you didn't know it was Warhammer). I believe just collecting and/or painting the miniatures is a hobby of some people, but of course they are meant to be used to play the game. A friend of mine used to collect them, but it's a very expensive hobby (with the larger miniatures costing over €100 a piece and some very large and rare models even over €1000) so he decided to find another one. Warhammer 40.000 (or 40K) is a sci-fi spin-off of Warhammer (40K is the year it starts, the 41st millennium). Its lore is more dark and complex and features additional gameplay elements, such as vehicles, and of course new miniatures. Where Warhammer has swords and bows Warhammer 40K has huge guns and spaceships. Both have at least humans and orcs. Both have been around since the 80's ('83 and '87 respectively), but they've recently seen a rise in popularity (during lockdowns maybe?). A (video) game set in the Warhammer universe is released pretty much monthly, like the recent popular Space Marines 2 (I believe a shooter set in the 40K setting). The games differ in genre, like turn based and real time strategy, shooter, RPG and even sports. Personally, I'd like to get into it, but I can't really tell where to start since it's so huge and it has been around for so long... I still have the Shadows of the Horned Rat video game from the 90's (no idea where I got it and I never got very far either). I guess one of the recent video games is as good as place to start as any. Whether you should get into it is up to you ;)
Best, Sander
