go science!
neat.
Wow.... and now all of a sudden I've lost all feeling of significance (cool presentation, though.)
If it could scroll over to the right by like 5% more, you'd be able to fit my ego in there :P
This is nice too: http://www.slideshare.net/rahul/how-big-are-we
That's a good one - I'm very visual and it helps to see the relative sizes.

Of course, most important for anyone on the internet: http://average-penis-size-chart.com/
I was really glad to see a plain Excel graph there.
This is fun, too, though unfortunately not scaled proportionally: http://netspaze.com/2010/10/20/heat-scale-of-the-universe/
It's interesting to note that, while Nature has us beaten on nearly every front, surpassing us in size (large and small, as shown by the OP), time (large and small), and high energies, humans have at least won the battle for lowest temperatures! Barring alien researchers, the low temperature laboratories of the world are, quite literally, the coolest places in the universe. :)

Cool! Deneb is a Star.
Yes, and Corvus is a constellation. A bunch of the names in VO exist out in the real world in some manner, not necessarily related to space. Sedina is a genus of moths, Serco Group, plc is some kind of company, Odia is used by a number of organizations, Azek is a company that makes decks and such, etc.

That's pretty far out, man.
Cool gravitational lens, see if you can spot it:
The galactic cluster creating the lens is seven billion light years away, the light reaching us from when the universe was half its present age. This is also from the Hubble deep field experiment.
