What if there was a black hole in your pocket?
I would assume because it starts with the same mass as the earth but as it eventually absorbs the earth it will gain that mass too, so it will end up being double the mass.
How does something with the mass of the earth perturb space greater than what the earth does?
10 Staggering Alcohol Facts
I think it's probably safe to say that was an art piece, not an actual product that people would buy.

The Science of Goosebumps and Music Chills
Agreed, totally. In fact most of the music that gets to me is powerful but often slow. I even get goosebumps just thinking about some music.
This doesn't even remotely address the physical sensation of the "frisson". Plus if it's supposed to be fear based, why does it feel so damned good?
I don't buy the bit about the music response trigger. I can't recall any time that I've got the "this music is friggin' awesome" goosebumps when I hear some piece for the first time. Instead, I get them when I'm very intently listening to some favorite song that I've heard many times before, and particularly during my favorite bits of favorite songs. That throws "unexpected shifts" in the music as a cause right out the window -- I anticipate those bits coming and then the enjoyment/realization of that anticipation seems to be the trigger.

Thanks. I was originally thinking of just an overlapping scale design but I realized the shape of the iphone was perfect for a trilobite. I just checked out the preview of that book on Amazon, there's definitely some cool critters in there.
In reply to this comment by oritteropo:
I really liked your entries in the sift art show : I particularly liked the trilobite. I've always liked trilobites, have you seen the book by Richard Fortey?.
