That's right - a life size FULL size image of a blue whale.
My first thought? Man that's a big eye.
My second thought? What poor bastard had to meticulously scan a WHALE?
My third thought? What poor WHALE had to be meticulously photographed?

Thank god pictures like this don't exist of most people.
Yet. (shiver)
