"My (sci fi) crowd"

My friend, anthropologist and new mother Laura Stanley sent me the following note:

Jeff Russell's Starship Dimensions - This is a site where "science fiction fans can
now compare the sizes of various sci-fi spacecraft regardless of genre.
All models are true to scale!" For some reason, I thought you and "your
crowd" might find this amusing - if they haven't already discovered it!

So, "my crowd," have you discovered this yet? Do you find it amusing?
(It's kind of interesting, a bit techy for me....But lots of you are decidedly more tech, so enjoy!)

I found the site quite amusing. I'm not the world's greatest Sci-Fi fan (I've never even been to a geek...I mean science fiction...convention), but I love the application of scientific detail to fictional ships/creatures. I especially liked the Starship Troopers "ships".

I'd like to see the addition of a couple more genres. For instance, was I the only person watching Firefly?
