It's normal-sized.

The street, buildings, moped and other people are all smaller than normal.

Now that you mention it, Murph, it does look rather badly photoshopped. All I know is that never happened to me in Italy.
Maybe I needed those laced sandals with my satin hotpants, tank top and knee highs?

My log home is western red cedar. When I was building it, I spent a great deal of time with a 9" grinder and sanding disk profiling the door and window openings, the flats on the logs for receptacles and switches and misc other areas. It took me one time (the first time) of doing this without a dusk mask to realize why bugs don't like cedar. I got horribly sick. So ya, listen to Bob.... Cedar dust is pretty bad stuff to be inhaling. You can probably get away without a mask for rough cutting a few boards, but definitely do not try to sand the stuff without a mask.

I think his body is just small in comparison to his normal-sized head.

Reminds me of one of my favorite Flight of the Concords episode when Jermaine phones Bret in a panic because he slept with an Australian and thinks he is trapped in her apartment.

Bret: Did she look Australian?
Jemaine: No, not particularly...in the face, I suppose, but not bodily.

I bought a Rigid shop vac that was a 'special buy' at home depot, I picked it up for $45 and it is the best shop vac I have owned. I have recently added one of these and the filter stays very clean.

What does that do?

Ken, a cyclone device such as that allows all the heavier chips, etc. to drop into it so you're not clogging up the vac itself nearly as often, and allows greater efficiency.

Think of it in terms of the vac providing the suction for the process, but not the end-reservoir for the stuff you vacuum.

I've never really looked into them for my own use, because I don't want to have to drag something else around the shop.

They're popular, though, and almost all dust collection systems now use cyclone designs for greater efficiency.

Oh, so it's like that bit in the episode that made me stop watching Numb3rs where he uses some contrived math to make you want to buy a Dyson!

Well, I've never watched Numb3rs, but I'll just go along with it and say "Yeah. It's JUST like that!"
