A couple of caveats to begin:
1. This is not about penis size. I only used that to sucker people into reading my dull, boring post. If you want really unfunny, really stupid, sophomoric, thinly veiled innuendo, go talk to Alkey.
2. This is could get pretty messy, so some pronoun clarification might be in order. Whenever any words appear in the first person or any derivative thereof (I, me, us, ours etc.) I am referring to humans of all the size ranges that we come in. When the third person is used (he, his, her, them, theirs etc.) I am referring to humans of immense proportions. That is, of course, unless the antecedent makes the sentence obviously have a different meaning (e.g. The dog licked his balls.) Remember these things, they're important. On to the fun.
At what point does the size of an organism matter related to the distance it travels? If a human walks a mile, it's a mile. If I walk a mile, it's the same distance as if Kareem Abdul Jabbar walks a mile, and it's the same if Vern Troyer walks a mile. A mile is a mile is a mile. Now if an ant, on the other hand, walks a mile, (our mile) it certainly seems like a lot further to him. The obvious answer is that it doesn't matter. A mile really is a mile, is a mile is a mile. But that's not true. If a being was big, I mean really big, like thousands of miles big, he would be able to transverse thousands of our miles in a single bound. If he was even bigger than that, so big in fact the he could travel 186,000 of our miles in a second, he could break the speed of light. Since that is impossible, his distance traveled must be relative to his size. Or maybe it's not.
What if a creature of that size was moving at 186,000 of our miles a second, would he indeed break the speed of light relative to us, but not himself? Would he travel beyond our dimension and not realize it, all the while thinking he was just out for a morning jog?
So that brings me back to my original question, at what point does your size matter relative to the distance you travel? What is the watershed point? Is it different for people of every size, is Kareem's mile different from mine, we just use the standard mile for convenience? Does my cat hate me for making it go upstairs to shit? It might be the same distance to her as it is for me to go to A.C.
I hope this makes sense.
