✪ Hydrated Man

To show the influence of our size on science physicist William Crookes described what it would be like to be a tiny homunculus, exploring a leaf of cabbage:
This little person would be standing on a great green plane, full of glistening transparent domes of water, as high as the pyramids. The surface tension of these bubbles would be very tricky to deal with. Thus he showed how subjective our everyday experiences are.



Here is a guy who is even smaller, so tiny in fact that he is beaten-up by a gang of water-molecules. When I see a bottle of hydrating creme in the shower, I always imagine those aggressive bipolar molecules, as a gang of mafiosi.
