    Reminds me of the time someone on Xitter said that there are more trees on Earth than there are stars in our Galaxy. They got ratio’d pretty damn hard for it. -_-

      Going by the top Duck duck go results for “how many stars in our galaxy” and “how many trees in the world”:
      “According to Jos de Bruijne, a scientist at the European Space Agency (ESA), the current estimate is between 100 to 400 billion stars.”
      and
      “There are an estimated 3.04 trillion trees in the world.”
