    One of the greatest things a man can purchase is a telescope. For the price of a laptop, you buy something that will never cease to mesmerize you.

    As for scales of the universe, this is by far my favorite one:

    Yeah but a computer can get you pictures from Hubble while surfing clutchfans. Also it is not a massive telescope in your house.
    BOOM!
