That gives you a figure around 100 billion, or something at the same order of magnitude.
The earth was definitely flat for a fair while too! Until someone finds the brick wall at the end of the universe its all just theory (with some pretty big leaps of best guesswork)

It's been said that in a "closed universe" - one where the space is finite but unbound - you could in theory look out into space with powerfull enough telescope and see the back of your own head!!

Of course you'd have to stand there a very long time for the image of the back of your head to make a full circuit of the universe!!

Great. Gonna get one of these for Mrs Monkeypony. Then she'll be able to see for herself whether or not her new jeans make her arse look big.

It`s cloned hedgehogs that we really need to watch out for.
One day they will inherit the world.
Well....have you ever seen a hedgehog that looks different?
There you go eh?
They will rise up, just you wait!

The Americans will only make contact if the aliens have oil!

Now, that`s just so cynical of me!!!!
