The internet is built by boys

If you’ve ever doubted that the internet was built by 12 year-old boys (and I haven’t) take a look at Sizeasy, where you can compare the size of any two things side by side.

The potential for abuse here is off-the-charts fun.

Here’s the Apple iPhone compared to the Lego Ultimate Collector Millenium Falcon. Both $499. (Thanks Eric.)

… and a Brown Zune compared to an average baseball bat.

… and Andre Torrez compared to a Beard Papa cream puff .

Sweet! The best part is, the more I put in me, the fatter I get. It's like physics.

A lot has been written about sizeasy but I find this kind of belittling comment to be the most offensive. Using sizeasy as a toy is definitely something a 12 year old with too much time on their hands would do. However the vast majority of users are finding it a very useful, practical tool when trying to visualize product size.
