World's Largest Breasts
Norma Stitz, real name Annie Hawkins -Turner, was born in Atlanta,
Georgia. She attended Jackson State University and got a BSW (Bachelor
of Social Work). Norma began sending in pictures to
publications
in the early 1990's and there were finally published in 1994. Treated
mainly as a curiousity, the magazines soon learned that there are many
men out there that really do love big breasts like this and she began
appearing in more mags. By 1997 she was also making her own movies as
well.
In 1999, the Guinness World Records declared Norma as
having the Biggest Natural Breasts in the world and also the owner of
the largest bra. Her measurements at the time were 70-48-52". Her bra
size was 48V. Each breast weighed 28 pounds and she weighed 270. Since
then her breasts have grown up to 72ZZZ and she tops the scale at 345
pounds.

World's Largest Arthropod
Hail Crabzilla! The Japanese Spider Crab is the biggest arthropod on
Earth--their legs are believed to grow up to 12 feet long. But since
they live
at such great depths (typically 1,000 feet down or so) a full grown
spider crab has yet to be caught. So for now, we'll have to make due
with the 5 foot long Crabzilla (that's what it's called--I didn't make
it up!), one of the largest known crabs in the planet.

World's Largest Hand
24-year-old macrodactyly patient Liu Hua, from Jiangsu, China, was
recognized in 2007 as the man with the world's largest hand. He was born
with a left thumb, index and middle finger much larger than normal,
which grew dramatically together with his arm as he grew older and has
had a serious impact on his work and day-to-day life.
When Liu
was hospitalized in Shanghai in July 2007, his left thumb measured 26
centimeters, his index finger was 30cm and his middle finger 15cm. The
overall weight of his left arm was about 10 kilograms. Surgeons ended up
making a seven-hour operation to reduce the size of Liu's fingers and
thumb, removing 5.1kg of flesh and bone in the procedure.

World's Largest iPod
This 25 ft. iPod is attached to the side of the Unizan Bank building
across from the State house at Third St in Columbus, Ohio. Not only does
it look like an iPod, but it actually plays music. The gadget was
created for Columbus Alive, a weekly entertainment magazine and website
serving central Ohio with fresh, fun coverage of the music, arts, food
and nightlife that makes Columbus, Ohio, tick! We chose some of our
favorite local musicians that had submitted songs to the online
jukebox and we added them to the iPod playlist, Columbus Alive report.

World's Largest Human Rainbow
On September 18, 2004, over 31,000 students, faculty, staff and alumni
of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines broke the record
previously held by the Maltese. They used the human rainbow to celebrate
the university's centennial, which was from 1904 to 2004, and to
highlight the signing of the Declaration of Peace which will be
submitted to the United Nations.
This beat the previous effort of 2003, when 11,750 individuals assembled in Floriana, Malta, to break the record.

World's Largest Goldfish
It might look like an enormously generous fairground prize. But no
goldfish bowl in the world could contain this catch. The orange koi carp
weighs 30lb – the same as an average three-year-old girl – and is
thought to be one of the largest of its kind ever captured.

World's Largest Mosaic
Two brothers revealed a painstaking reconstruction of Britain's largest
Roman mosaic that took them ten years to complete. Bob and John Woodward
used 1.6million tiny pieces to produce their copy of the Orpheus
pavement. Now the 47ft square pavement is being auctioned and it is expected to fetch £25,000. The mosaic depicts
the ancient Greek
music master Orpheus and lyre resting on his left knee, his hunting dog
alongside him and a myriad of beasts all around him. The work is on
display at Prinknash Abbey, near Stroud, but the lease has come to an
end and its owner - who does not wish to be identified - has decided to
sell. Iona Sale, who is publicizing the event for auctioneers Chorley's,
said it had been challenging putting an estimated sale price on the
mosaic - because no-one had ever attempted such a feat before.

World's Largest Sand Carpet
When one thinks of sand art, sand castles are what often comes to mind,
but Tibetan Buddhist monks have long designed magnificent mandalas out
of colored sand, for which Iranian artists have put
a new spin to — famous for their traditional
Persian rugs,
a group of artists have taken it to a whole new level by creating the
world's largest sand carpet. The unique 39,370.078 square foot (12,000
sq. meter) world record carpet was created by 25 visual artists made
entirely of 70 types of colorful sand found on the country's southern
island seashores of Hormuz, widely known for its red soil, to create the
‘Persian Gulf' sand carpet.
