A camel CAN pass through the eye of a needle


'Tis been said "Tis easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."  What Mark didn't know was apparently they can pass through nine at a time, courtesy of renown micro sculptor Willard Wigan.

He does it by hand.  To keep his hand steady he slows his heart rate and sculpts in between beats.

This guy has an unbelievable talent for micro sculpture, working late at night to avoid even the slightest vibrations caused by outside traffic.  Go to his gallery and be amazed.  For even more dazzeling examples of his work just search his name in google images.  For his full story try the gallery link and click the home tab.

A long time ago galaxies far far away were apparently quite small.
This little bit of culture brought to you courtesy of the 30 days of all things great and small.
