So it's some known fact that the Great Wall of
China is the only man-made structure visible from space. Oh no no no no no. Assuming by 'space' they mean anywhere past the exosphere or on the moon or something. Maybe not on the moon - that's super far. But either way the Great Wall of China is only about 30ft wide in the widest areas. That's about the same width as the average road - and roads are longer! And if you could see any random road from space, the Great Wall would not be known for it. The height [40 ft...ish] really would not matter because, from space, you are looking down on it. I'm no scientist or astronaut so I won't go all out on this - but I'm willing to bet I'm right.
On the topic of science, listen to this rather terrific theory as to why people are perfectly justified for being deathly afraid of spiders. Imagine you are cleaning your house and you come a cross a spider. You dust it away, assuming you've gotten rid of it, and keep dusting. But the spider isn't dead. You missed it, but did not notice because it is so small - you caught the web instead. The spider then, attached to the web, is dragged behind as you move the cloth. Not wanting to endure this unwanted movement any longer than it has to, it logically works its way from the strand of web to the cloth, from the cloth to your arm, from your arm to your neck, from your neck to your ear. It is so small and light with its tiny weight balanced so evenly on all eight skinny, twitching little legs that you do not feel a thing. Then it slips into your ear. It lays its egg by your eardrum. The egg hatches. Thousands of baby spiders pop from that one egg. There are two holes from your eardrum: in your head and out your ear. The tiny little baby divide - half leave the ear, and half go forward. The half that leaves the ear travel through the ear - voila, you have hundreds of baby spiders crawling all over your face. The other half goes the other way - into your head. Voila, you have hundreds of baby spiders crawling all over your brain. And it SO is possible!

Even if it isn't possible to for them get inside your brain, it is definitely possible for a spider to leave its eggsack in your ear. It's a fine temperature for it to hatch and those baby spiders need some way out. Actually, that could happen in your nose too. And your nasal passage is directly connected to your mouth. AND you lungs, which is connected to your intestines and such. YOU COULD ACTUALLY HAVE BABY SPIDERS CRAWLING AROUND YOU STOMACH!
(The picture I'm posting for this is the most disgusting one I've ever seen. I'm never looking at it again.)
