  • Linguo, on 10/16/2008, -1/+72My ex girlfriend would make a joke about how my "unit" should have been in that collection. I hate her so much.
  • loobis, on 10/16/2008, -0/+27Bitches, man. Bitches.
  • No13Baby, on 10/16/2008, -0/+10http://www.nikonsmallworld.com
  • cuecat, on 10/16/2008, -0/+9I love the picture descriptions.....

    Transfected hyperbranching transgenic sergestes thaliana radiolarians in polarized light.
  • t4stringer, on 10/16/2008, -1/+9Wow, those are stunning
  • fwertz, on 10/16/2008, -1/+8(_(_)=D
  • JDoms, on 10/16/2008, -0/+5hey man, you said it first
  • LogicBomB, on 10/16/2008, -0/+4Thanks for sharing. We all were on the edge of our seats waiting for that.
  • KenSPT, on 10/16/2008, -0/+4Yeah, some of those would make great Hi-Res wallpapers ...
  • jonishere, on 10/16/2008, -0/+4no really thanks for the mirror?
  • AtomicTheory, on 10/16/2008, -0/+4Yes, but buried for a 20 item list spread across 20 pages.

    I don't know about others, but I consider myself a somewhat normal web user, and when I run across one of these (that doesn't contain nude or near-nude women) I stop after the 2nd or 3rd page.
  • asnider, on 10/16/2008, -0/+3I'm glad I'm in an office, rather than a cubicle, because I honestly LOLed when I read this. So random, dude, and so painfully funny. At least she's an ex, right?
  • Skab, on 10/16/2008, -0/+3WOW server error. KICK ASS.
  • inactive, on 10/16/2008, -0/+3when will people realize that 20 pages with 1 picture on each is annoying. If you want to do that figure out how javascript works so you don't have to keep loading the entire page over and over and over ..
  • theatheist, on 10/16/2008, -0/+3What a unique view into a world we hardly ever see
  • KenSPT, on 10/16/2008, -0/+3Did you seriously expect not to be Dugg down?
  • psud0, on 10/16/2008, -2/+5It would be great to download larger pics.
  • Miamisun, on 10/16/2008, -4/+6ill wait for the mirror thanks
  • centran, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2it's a world of laughter, a world or tears...
  • inactive, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2bookmarked yo

    bt
  • KenSPT, on 10/16/2008, -1/+3Very, very cool images ...
  • Dudemeyster, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2Sweet, two of those pics were taken 10 mins from where I live, in two different directions.
  • bubba9999, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2Everything's tiny when compared to the Marianas Trench.
  • ajkrik, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2Just tell her "it's bigger than yours!" (I mean, assuming it is.)
  • kthxbai85, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2Somebody with the screen name Mujokan has a seriously SLOW computer! The thumbnails loaded in about 15 seconds for me. Come on, man, we don't live in the Dark Ages anymore; it's time to upgrade.
  • Lyght, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2It's a world of hopes and a world of fears...
  • Mujokan, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2Give it about ten minutes and the thumbnails at least should load.
  • billizm, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1What is picture number 16? Oh wait, it says it... it's a "Transfected fibroblast with lamellipodia". Oh, of course.
  • ophello, on 10/17/2008, -0/+1...aaaaand down.
  • agbullet, on 10/17/2008, -0/+1http://www.nikon.com/about/feelnikon/universcale/i ...
    Try this in full screen mode... pretty cool.
  • Mujokan, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1lol it got better after that, but the initial page took a long time. Thus people asking for mirrors.
  • DJProxy, on 10/16/2008, -1/+2So you buried it due to your lack of attention span?
  • inactive, on 10/17/2008, -0/+1Hate multi page *****...
  • thecarpe, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1They forgot the image for the pinkly taurus in polarized light
  • JakeW, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1If it's what I think it is, you can, you just have to be quick when you click "enlarge"

    Right click as soon as you see the picture.. and you might be able to download it.

    EDIT: Nevermind, you can't. But the pictures are available with "View info" on Firefox
  • inactive, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1Some of those would look nice as my desktop wallpaper but the resolutions are too small...
  • GuacamoleSan, on 10/16/2008, -0/+14th place or 3rd place shoulda won that one.
  • JakeW, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1http://www.sciam.com/media/gallery/00C9C5CA-F0A3-B ...

    I think I understand what you meant by hi-res, now.. Sorry I couldn't help.
  • JDoms, on 10/17/2008, -0/+1HUGE VAGINA http://blogs.mercurynews.com/aei/wp-content/photos ...
  • Madcow17, on 10/16/2008, -0/+0I do too. It's irritating. No reason they can't fit most of those on 1 or 2 pages.
  • hyperionshift, on 10/16/2008, -1/+1Should I be worried that I actually know what all those images are???
  • kthxbai85, on 10/16/2008, -1/+1BTW, I timed the loading of the page and thumbnails on my computer. 5 seconds.
  • ZeroTonight, on 10/17/2008, -0/+0Do you hate her because she's wrong, or because she's right?
  • temujin2012, on 10/16/2008, -5/+5*cue bitching about clicking 20 times...*

    Those pictures were badass.
  • hiPpymIck, on 10/16/2008, -4/+2 dyou mean

  • AmyVernon, on 10/16/2008, -6/+3@Linguo That's really freakin' funny.
  • slaptest, on 10/16/2008, -6/+1ex girlfriend? ha.. cause you've had a girlfriend.
