  • Ru55, on 11/23/2007, -2/+18Some dude in a nanotech lab will see this, laugh, and make a teapot 10 ***** atoms high or something.
  • Juntistik, on 11/22/2007, -0/+14Honestly I think making the worlds smallest teapot is less of a time waster then trolling digg and commenting about it.
  • mbthompson, on 11/22/2007, -3/+16Tomorrow: "World's smallest lure created by master baiter."
  • Puppetfunk, on 11/22/2007, -0/+12Oh really? You don't say?
  • roadtripper, on 11/23/2007, -0/+9Actually, I thought it would've been smaller.
  • jamesmudgett, on 11/22/2007, -1/+9that's not THAT small
  • Bamborzled, on 11/22/2007, -2/+10[insert comical reference to SHUT THE ***** UP]
  • chrisharcourt, on 11/22/2007, -1/+9If only it were chocolate!
  • Labut, on 11/22/2007, -0/+6He must have used the shrink ray gun.
  • SpamDog, on 11/22/2007, -2/+8I dunno, the one in 3d Studio would be a lot easier...
  • mbthompson, on 11/22/2007, -2/+8[insert bracketed comments in ass]

  • Hazake, on 11/22/2007, -2/+7oh snap
  • maddypaul, on 11/22/2007, -1/+5.. thats what she said
  • Merick, on 11/22/2007, -1/+5Didn't I hear about a fully-functioning guitar the size of a blood cell years ago? This is weak.
  • sup34dog, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3almost as cool as the smallest toilet
  • inactive, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3thank god for a page that actually loads today
  • Toronto86er, on 11/22/2007, -3/+6After seeing pics of little mini statues inside the eye of a needle, this doesn't really do it for me...
  • EmileVictor, on 11/23/2007, -0/+2Oh my god
  • Rodalli, on 11/23/2007, -0/+2I would imagine a 73-year old master potter has become more than a little adept at handbuilding. Just use tiny coils and shaping/smoothing instruments. Certainly not an easy task but any stretch of the imagination, but it's feasible.
  • julianvs, on 11/23/2007, -1/+3Why is this crap on here! YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • elijahalcantara, on 11/23/2007, -0/+2'master-baiter'? ... oh I get it ;-)
  • Ethyriel, on 11/22/2007, -0/+2I wonder how he made it. A potter's wheel seems like overkill, but I can't imagine him getting the shape any other way unless it's solid or very rough on the inside.
  • tibbon, on 11/22/2007, -1/+3What's a tempest in that teapot look like?
  • Flakor, on 11/23/2007, -0/+2Does he get bored? Because I'm sure I could make the Worlds Smallest Computer if I was bored
  • michaelmit, on 11/23/2007, -1/+3*has
  • darkheartlor, on 11/23/2007, -0/+2I want to know how you become a master potter.
  • firedrillduckie, on 11/22/2007, -0/+2Better set that to Wumbo.
  • chess007, on 11/23/2007, -0/+2But its the perfect size for Paris Hilton's morning tea. She has to make sure she's not getting to many calories. :)
  • DephexTwin, on 11/23/2007, -1/+3It's called a wicked burn!
  • ErrorBorn, on 11/22/2007, -1/+3It's 'bout as cute as a bug's ear.
