1. I voted for the sun, but some suns are bigger than others.

Red giants are the biggest of all.

[Bucky]

2. so far it's a three way tie between all four options equally. So God will decide if it's a deadlock

3. Pass/other

What's bigger than all of those...

The big honking zit on the side of my face that broke out because I stupidly keep resting that area on my hand while reading DU.

4. I voted for the sun even though it doesn't exist at night

[petronius]

5. Have you ever seen the sun and moon rise or set? They both can disappear behind

a little tiny hill, and a hill is smaller than the whole Earth. So obviously, the Earth is the biggest. Du-uh!!1!

[Bucky]

7. Whoa, I didn't think of that.

What's weird is that they both go around and around us, at different speeds mind you, but you never seem them rise side by side of one another. I'm talking about the crescent moon, of course. The round one was big enough for astronauts to land on.

6. Frow what vantage point?

Or are we talking about absolutes, like mass and diameter?

[Bucky]

8. No, I'm sure all of them are bigger than a mass.

That's like just one building. I don't know much about Diameter. I think she's fiction though.

9. It's all Greek to me.

10. You know the moon doesn't really exist, right?

NASA invented it so they could fake the moon landing to distract Americans from all the sasquatch sightings in the 1960s

[In_The_Wind]

15. yes

[kentauros]

16. It did exist at one time.

Then we bombed it.

[Bucky]

21. It was preventative retaliation. Entirely justified. They might've given their nukes to terrorists

The moon has had contactS with known terrestrials

[LostinRed]

11. No your mom response

Lol

[pauldemmd195j]

12. The sun is the largest, of course

It'd be nice if the earth was equally huge. But oh well.

[Fearless]

13. Size matters not.

[Scuba]

14. CNN reports that it's "too close to call".

[Agschmid]

19. ^^ AWESOME ^^ nt

[sakabatou]

17. By actual size, the Sun

By apparent size, it can be the Moon.

[RedCloud]

18. Obviously the Earth is much bigger.

I mean the Sun is only the size of a basketball as seen with the nekked eye. I can put nonillions of basketballs on the Earth. The Sun and Moon both reject any basketballs I pass towards them. Q.E.D.

[Arugula Latte]

20. Fox News says "Earth."

[frogmarch]

22. The moon is smaller than

the Earth, yet is farther away. (from Mad Magazine's "Strangely Believe It" section, sometime in the early 60s.)
