If a man grew as fast in proportion as a silk 

 worm, he would be bigger than an elephant in two 

 months. If he could navigate as fast in proportion 

 as the average housefly, he would cross the Atlan- 

 tic and get back in the time it takes him to eat his 

 breakfast. If he had as many eyes in proportion 

 as the butterfly, he would have 40,000, to say noth- 

 ing of an extra pair in his head for skylights. It' 

 he could spring as far in proportion as the spider, 

 he could jump over the tallest tree in California, 

 and it wouldn't bother him in the least. Man isn't 

 the whole thing, after all. — Feeepoet Journal.
