Scientists have finally done something to impress even us at Loser's Guide. They've made a tiny car "no more than 4 nanometers across".

Using the parts inside a single molecule, scientists have constructed the world's smallest car. It has a chassis, axles and a pivoting suspension. The wheels are buckyballs, spheres of pure carbon containing 60 atoms apiece.

The article goes on to talk about microscopic trucks and factories. That would be more exciting than an ant farm. Imagine having an important industrial project going on down there among the molecules.

I heard the Incredible Shrinking Man was looking for a job. He could be a manager there.

And I felt my body dwindling, melting, becoming nothing. My fears melted away. And in their place came acceptance. All this vast majesty of creation, it had to mean something. And then I meant something, too. Yes, smaller than the smallest, I meant something, too. To God, there is no zero.
