- mississippiman, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2cool pictures but still blog spam. If your going to use Drupal for a site, at least TRY to make it look like you made it yourself.

You want to talk about useless? Think about all the wasted time you spend on the Internet doing useless things. :) - gmprunner, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7That's #44

- DexDoomsday, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8This guy really has his art really "pinned" down
- StanleyKoolPrik, on 10/12/2007, -23/+1Wow, thats great that he made such little sculptures, but you know what? they suck. You should re-title this item as "The World's Smallest, ***** Sculptures".
- atbnet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Let's see how you do *****.
- csnoke, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Wow. Check out that domain name... bestcoolpics.com
Someone had their thinking cap on! - rustyspoon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7wow. so cool seemed fake.... turns out to be true.. http://www.snopes.com/photos/arts/microscopic.asp
Major digg- ceris, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Thanks for the better source. That Best Pictures site sucks! Did you see the other picture sets they have?
* Cool Transformers Creations = Something Awful's Photoshop (R) Phriday (Without any something awful logos)
* Microscopic Sculpture
* The Brian Peppers Collection = YTMND, Something Awful, etc.. All original logos removed and replaced with
his..
* The Burger King = Another Something Awful set where they removed all the SA logos..
How freaking lame. A site of %100 spam! - arcooke, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Just the fact that you immediately assumed it was fake makes me immediately hate you.
I'm so tired of that *****. Please, FOR ONCE people.. innocent until proven guilty..... - ceris, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3@arcooke
I'm not saying the art is fake. I'm saying the site is lame for ripping off other sites. The art is real, a good source is the snopes links posted here..
The SITE on the other hand is a lame ass spam site that doesn't deserve to be on the front page of digg

- Sil369, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I wonder what would happen if you put those in a cage with a hampster/rat/ant/other same-sized bug.
- openyoureyes17, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1how many hampsters have you seen fit in the eye of a needle. they probably couldn't see it either.
- chris4buffy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0How are rats the same size as those sculptures?
Or indeed the same size as ants!?!?
- castingshade, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0And to think that Adobe® Photoshop® Software was not used to make these pictures... props to the guy
- WayneMan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3I bet he actually only makes really large needles and then makes the sculptures life size...
- arcooke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Digg comedians...
They try so hard.. and fail every time.
- arcooke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Digg comedians...
- Synapse84, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Wow that must be frustrating to screw up on anything.
- Wacer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Simply Amazing!
- blacksparrw, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2just...WOW
- 2oonhed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I was carving the empire state building out of a sunflower seed the other day & the antenna broke off & fell into my carpet. I have looked & looked & I just cant find it anywhere........so now I am just kicking myself because now I have the King Kong I carved from a grain of salt earlier and I can't do anything with it.
