Quote:Cosmologically speaking, Corpus Christi is almost West Virginia. The small separation between them is a mere 0.00003 AU, and AU's are tiny, tiny. I've forgotten the conversion to parsecs, durnit. It's also about 0.01 light-seconds, which is about 0.0000000003 light-years. Or so.Wrong context. Newtonian frames of reference for events are required for any comparison. Thus I do not equate Comet™ cleanser with roast beef, when at the atomic and sub atomic level, they are both merely made of neutrons, protons, electrons, mesons, etc. Irrelevant frame of reference for any useful comparison.

Thus, Corpus Christi is not even almost West Virginia, unless you are almost a platypus.
