DIGG:
21 hours 4 minutes ago (from right now: 2233PM GMT -4 / EDT)
So who wins? I don't have a calculator. - sirmasterboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13What doesn't look cool under a microscope...
- bertram, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14busted.
- titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13I thought again but nothing happened.
- rizzo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14but some of us diggers don't read fark and would have missed out on this......
- dizzybastard, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11my girlfriend .... =( but she's beautiful in real size..
i swear ... - gnomeh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I also didn't think velcro wasn't photogenic.
- zkarcher, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9These are fantastic images. I love this stuff.
- mikevickrocks, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I don't use velcro several times a day, I'll be lucky if I use it once every couple of days. Anyone else have same feeling?
- bertram, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5seriously - "Tech Industry News"?! At least put it in a proper category.
- billflu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Looks like something from a high school health class.
- Utopian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Phew... for a minute there I thought we were going to have a photo submission on the front page without the word 'amazing' in the post. Thanks for putting that right!
- tim949, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4If you think this is cool, check out Felice Frankel's work. I do some freelance writing and recently profiled her for Apple: http://www.apple.com/science/profiles/frankel/
- utkwes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Assuming the same time zones, it was posted to digg around 2:30 compared to the fark main page at 5.
- p5ychop3nguin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Actually, Velcro is just a copy of a burr and dog's fur. So human's didn't invent it.
- upsilonh24, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I must say I never really wondered if Velcro was photogenic...
- fzammetti, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I still say Velcro is the long sought-after proof that aliens exist and that we recovered technology from a crashed craft at Roswell... I mean, does anyone actually think us pitiful humans could have invented something this awesome ourselves?!? I think not!!
- akira117, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I think digg won Some thing like 1 am vs 4 am I think
Too lazy to do all the calculations - Myko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Not to defend plagiarism but possibly he posted this on both sites?
- JakeMcMahon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Why is everyone talking about masturbation all of sudden? What do you do at night? Wrap your ***** in one type of velcro and your hand in the other?
- MightyGiant, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3The last time I used Velcro was on my tennis shoes when I was 5.
- tychop, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I agree. It's just plain retarded to put this in the Tech News.
- chandrasonic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3http://www.microscopyu.com/smallworld/gallery/contests/2005/honorablesmall01.html
- khyberkitsune, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Opening image FTW - This is awesome, and anyone who thinks "This is just velcro" is most likely silly. This is awesome photography under an UBER-Macro/micro lens. Keep this up, whomever is doing this!
- Opelious, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2If it was posted on Fark's main page after it was initally submitted to Digg, then shouldn't that mean that it was submitted to Fark earlier? If I recall, only the premium members can view submitted topics before it reaches the front page, then everyone can reach it.
- Irimi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Run that on slide show. All those pictures are amazing.
- timmyallen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1that is freaking insane.
- alanmarchman, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4It's almost perverted. Like the Japanese facination with tentacle rape in anime...
- punkrockxtian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1it doesn't matter, if it's got diggs, it means people like it, which means others like it. nobody cares whether it's news or not. although, i agree with bertram, it is in the wrong category.
- Crypty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm cool with velcro as long as I don't have to hear it.
- Terc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The problem is, "Cool vids" and "hey check this out" things are hitting the front page all the time, the average age and enlightenment on digg is severly dropping. If people are looking for cool vids and pics, go to ebaums.
- thecoolestcow, on 10/12/2007, -1/+294x magnification, taken with Nikon SMZ1500 Stereomicroscope.
Where did I get that? Do I personally know the artist? No, I RTFA!
I feel like people comment just to comment, and don't even look at TFA. - Yokai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sweet.
- Trenton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's cool and all, but I think looking at velcro isn't what I like to do all the time.
- xalax, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I found my new wallpaper
- skartel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I open my laptop bag cord compartment several times a day, and the laptop holder inside uses velcro. Pockets on my rain jacket.
- speaker219, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2This is Tech Industry News?
- hcsteve, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Today's photo of something you probably do several times a day without thinking of how cool it looks under magnification.
Thank you, but I already know how cool my masturbation looks under magnification. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Um.. I use Velcro every day?! Hardly...
- Berkana, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Yeah, now that I think of it, this picture reminds me of the descriptions of "morgellon's disease" symptoms.
Maybe morgellon's sufferers are unknowlingly sticking velcro to themselves.

- skifreak107, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1oh damn
- smellinator, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1um, dood. when you did that, my kitten died.
Thanks. - antdude, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Original size (1600x1200): http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=51311029&size=o&context=set-72157594150554407
- DaMacGamer, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2agreed its amazing.
i wonder what kind of camera that guy used to get such detail. - akira117, on 10/12/2007, -15/+8Yea me too thats why: http://digg.com/offbeat_news/There_should_be_a_Photo_Section_on_digg!
- Terc, on 10/12/2007, -10/+1Ok, I think it's cool, but Digg isn't a "cool pics" site. Please stick to news STORIES.
