> According to this web site, [If the Moon Were Only 1 Pixel - A tediously accurate map of the solar system](http://joshworth.com/dev/pixelspace/pixelspace_solarsystem.html), which makes a painstaking (and quite impressive) attempt to show the solar system to scale, starting from if the moon was exactly 1 pixel, then Jupiter would have roughly the same diameter as a pink pencil eraser, the sun’s diameter would be about the same as a silver dollar coin, the earth would be about the size of this period ( . ), and to get to Pluto you’d have to do a whole lotta scrolling to the right.

> A driver in Florida got the random license plate number A55 RGY. Since there is a Florida State Orange in the middle of the plate, it looks like A55ORGY. When people complained, he refused to give it back to the authorities.

In play:

William Seward of New York expected to get the Republican nomination for President in 1860, but lost to Abraham Lincoln of Illinois. He agreed to serve as Lincoln’s Secretary of State, and stayed on throughout Andrew Johnson’s administration. He is credited with leading the negotiations that led to the U.S. acquisition of Alaska from Russia.
