The incredible machine.
This completely insane diagram details the metabolic processes that are happening at any given moment in your body. It's what makes you work. (Via Reddit, where you'll find a 50MB TIF version.)

Chromoscope the Universe.
Ever wanted X-ray specs or super-human vision? Chromoscope lets you explore our Galaxy (the Milky Way) and the distant Universe in a range of wavelengths from X-rays to the longest radio waves.
Your puny human visual sensors can detect only a small sliver of the electromagnetic spectrum. Use the handy Chromoscope slide-bar to see what you're missing, and view the Universe as god does (or satellites, whatever).

Zoom from a coffee bean to a single carbon atom, and gain some appreciation for the scale of things that affect you every day. Below is the classic video (and Best Thing Ever contender) "Powers of Ten", which instead zooms out from coffee-bean-scale to eventually encompass the observable universe. (Via Reddit.)

Methinks I’ll be visiting Active Surplus soon…
Think about the pros:
It can be used for lightpainting.
I'll stop burning my fingers when trying to light a roach or a bowl.
I'll be able to blind my enemies when they ask me for a light.
I may one day rule the world...
