Or, check out the Total Perspective Vortex - http://hitchhikers.wikia.com/wiki/Total_Perspective_Vortex
;D Total Perspective Vortex -Originally created by its inventor Trin Tragula as a way to get back at his wife (who always told him to get a "sense of proportion"), the TPV is now used as a torture device on the planet Frogstar. In a small chamber, you are presented with a 3-D model of the entire universe in exacting detail. In that model is a microscopic dot with the legend "you are here" printed on it.
