Fellow evolter Garrett snapped some photies for me of the humungous shopping trolley used at the start of the Jackass movie.
It’s bloody huge! Reminds me of the clips from Apollo 16’s 3rd EVA to House Rock where the astronauts went from their lunar rover to a huge rock, and scale being hard to judge on the moon, they appeared to be tremendously tiny compared to the now enormous rock — one wag in mission control (Jack Schmitt) was heard to say “… and as our astronauts disappear over the horizon”, raising a laugh or five in the MOCR :)
Another more recent scale reference came from #evolt:
[10:19] <garrettc> very odd sense of scale seeing a tractor
dwarfed by a trolley
[10:19] <neuro_> :)
[10:20] <martinb> it's a bit father ted - "Small. Far Away"
