Possibly the most ambitious of Dubai’s land reclamation
projects,
The World is an archipelago of 300 islands laid out to
represent countries of the world.
alt="">
The
first developed island is owned by Formula 1 driver Michael
Schumacher. The $7 million piece of land was gifted to him by
Dubai’s crown prince, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and is
located in the Arctic (although I’m sure he would have preferred
Germany).
alt="">
There’s various rumours of who owns the other islands, including
reports that Rod Stewart spent $33 million to buy mini-Britain.
The entire project is scheduled for completion in 2008, and over
in what looks like it might be Spain, we see a
boat “spraying” sand to create the island.

Google Earth satellite images have unearthed Samsung’s top
secret development of the World’s largest Plasma
Television.
After Japanese manufacturer Matsushita topped the South Korean
electronics company’s http://ces.engadget.com/2006/01/06/give-them-an-inch-matsushita-ups-the-ante-with-103-inch-plasma/
102″ plasma with a http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/16/samsungs-102-inch-plasma-tv/
103″ model Samsung moved developments to the African country of
Algeria where Matsushita’s spies wouldn’t know what they were up
to.
Rather than risking another embarrassment Samsung have gone all
out and developed a 4,975″ Plasma screen. However,
this may have been a mistake - the TV is so big that it keeps
falling onto its back.

Built to commemorate the highest temperature ever recorded in
the United States, the
World’s Largest Thermometer
in near Death Valley, California is a whopping
134 feet tall. Why? There’s one foot for every degree - yes, it
really did reach an unbelievable 134° Fahrenheit
here in 1913.

That’s 40.8 metres and 56.7 °C for those of you feeling confused
right now

the coldest temperature ever recorded in the US , a terrifying
−80.0 °F (−62.2 °C), was recorded in
Prospect Creek, Alaska.

Yes people,
this pair of spermatozoon spermatozoa are each
nearly half a mile long! At least, I
think they’re http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sperm sperm cells hugely
magnified - it’s that or some sort of crazy elongated guitar

The 2nd largest clock in the world is
supposedly the
Colgate clock, atop the Colgate-Palmolive factory in Indiana.
The clock was built way back in 1906 when it originally sat on
Colgate’s New Jersey facility, before being moved here in 1924.
alt="">
The 1st largest clock in the world is
also the
Colgate clock. This one replaced the above clock at the now
defunct New Jersey offices, but after Colgate left the area in the
1980s it sits alone on the waterfront.
alt="">
The claims of “largest in the word” for each is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_biggest_clock_faces disputable,
and both clocks are facing an uncertain future as developers move
into each area.
The similarities don’t end there - after the Indiana clock
starred in the 1999 film The Insider, the New
Jersey clock starred in the 2006 flick Inside Man.
Spooky.

Well, unfortunately the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:NASA_Langley_paper_airplane.jpg
world’s largest real paper planes aren’t usually kept
outside, so today we’ll have to make do with sculptures of
extremely large paper planes.
in Mukilteo, Washington, Dillion Works (who specialise in
creating large 3D architectural elements), claim to have the
world’s largest paper plane
doubling as an awning over their front door (http://www.wlra.us/wl/wlpaperairplane.htm ground level
shot).
>
Meanwhile in Germany, we find an equally huge, but slightly more
adventurous paper plane, which has
come to rest on the roof of Berlin’s Tegel airport.
>
So, does anybody know of any more huge paper planes lying
around?

Continuing this week’s semi-theme of very large things, we
present the world’s largest airport near Dammam,
Saudi Arabia!
Although it’s nowhere near what I’d expect from such a grand
title. Compare its tiny, empty terminal to the bustling Heathrow
airport and you’d be forgiven for thinking I was making it all
up.
You see,
King Fahd International is the world’s largest airport by area,
and at 780 km² it is bigger than the nearby country of
Bahrain. There’s 698,585 people in
Bahrain and they’ve still got three
airports!
