The cancer cells look like something from the Hubble. I'm a fan of those natural history documentaries on the small worlds. Anything with ants or tenacles. Not that humans have been lax in microscopic graffiti: http://news.cnet.com/2300-1006_3-588747 ... =mncol;txt (#10 is my fave)

Took me a minute or two to actually figure out what they were trying to say. I wondered if it was Ukrainian or Byelorussian.

Then I realised it was just some complete nincompoops using GoogleTranslate (badly).

We're talking about tiny chips, right? Amazing!

I'd thought the train was funny. The "track" is part of the chip, right? I thought it was a clever way of using the chip itself for a background.

The photos Harpy posted, are also amazing. Funny to see the HeLa (cancer) cells, as I read the book about Henrietta Lacks, who "donated" the cells to science without knowing, a few weeks ago. And now I see what they look like.
