Today in TAFE my teacher for Multicultural Australia handed out a copy of this email that he had gotten. It was actually rather interesting because it dealt with comparing information and such and the topic dealt with planets/stars and when you compared them you could tell that when you put up one against the other it was big but if you put the same one up against something else it was actually small. The email first compared the inner planets and it compared the outer planets and such but when it got to comparing the stars they had the sun up against stars like Betelgeuse and Antares and the sun was barely visible against it. What I found funny though was that when I was quietly going through it I saw that one of the stars was Aldebaran and I I first read it as 'Alderaan' and was like 'wait that's Star Wars' before I read it properly and realised that I had it wrong.

It was kind of an amusing when we went through the email and one of the guys commented that Antares would crush us, I'm pretty sure that, that comment came when the teacher asked us what we could tell from the information that was given.

This email was actually relevent to the class in a way though because we had to go through this sheet where we had to pick out what was wrong with the information given and how the information given was irrelevant unless you had something to compare it to.
