Its not like we are fractions of the whole but rather versions of the whole.

That's how it looks...

Funny because I see that kind of things floating into my eyes since early childhood when I close my eyes and watch the sun.
Does anyone have a clue?
Is there any connexion with fungus?

Re: The largest living thing on earth is....

Adama, those things you see are called "floaters."  Do they move when your eyes move, but like a delayed reaction?  I can't remember which pieces of the eye they're from-- the retina perhaps?  But they've detached and float around in the aqueous humor of the eye.  They're perfectly normal, and you shouldn't become concerned unless you suddenly start seeing a lot of them.

An 11 year old Alabama boy killed this gigantic monster pig with 8 shots from a .50 caliber revolver. The pig weighed over 1,000 pounds!

I'll never get why people need to kill beings for sport and than get a  picture taken with their tortured looking dead body. Sick.
