It’s a competitive world out there, eh? A global rat race for the title of the tallest,

biggest, fastest – you get it. How about we make the most unusual comparisons and see

where you can find record-holders of all kinds?

1. The world's fastest roller-coaster is in the Ferrari World theme park in Abu Dhabi,

UAE. The thing takes just 5 seconds to reach its top speed of 150 mph. You complete the

1-mile track in just over a minute and a half! And then you barf.

The slowest roller-coaster in the world is in Germany - and it's a walkable one! Yep,

your speed depends on how fast you can climb the steps of the 69-ft-tall structure! There’s

2. The biggest sports stadium in the world is in North Korea - it can seat 114,000 people,

which is the entire population of Springfield, Illinois.

To see the world's smallest stadium, just look at your typical foosball table! Ok, fine,

if we’re going by capacity, there are plenty that tie with 40,000 max – Russia’s Fisht

Olympic Stadium, Rentschler Field in the US, Japan’s Ōita Bank Dome, to name just a

3. Venezuela’s Jeison Orlando Rodríguez Hernández has the largest shoe size today.

He wears an unimaginable U.S. size 26. (The average for men varies from 9 to 12.)

The tiniest adult shoes are custom-made for Indian actress Jyoti Amge, the world’s smallest

woman. She’s just over 2 ft tall, and her shoe size is about a 2…in the infants’

4. The biggest private house in the world is a 27-story personal skyscraper that belongs

to Indian businessman Mukesh Ambani. The Mumbai home is 550 ft tall, almost as tall as the

Washington Monument. The world's tiniest house was built by nanorobotics

researchers in France. The itsy-bitsy construction is so small that it wouldn't even fit a mite!

And still, the house has 7 windows, a chimney, and a tiled roof! More than I can say about

5. Porcelain Palace, the largest public restroom in the world, is in Chongqing, China. It's

not a single bathroom, but a gigantic 4-story, 32,000-sq-ft complex with 1,000 toilets! Hey

if you’re there, cmention my name and you’ll get a good seat.

The most compact loo in the world has to be Britain’s futuristic-looking Vertebrae Vertical

Bathroom. It consists of 7 units (or modules) that can be rotated with a push. There’s

1 commode, a sink, the toilet’s tank, 2 showers (one a bit higher than the other),

6. The fastest train in the world is Shanghai Maglev. It runs along a high-speed magnetic

levitation line at a max speed of 268 mph! The world's slowest express train runs in

Switzerland. During the trip, the Glacier Express averages just 24 mph.

7. The most expensive commercially available pizza in the world costs $2,700 (or $250 for

just 1 slice!) and is sold in an upscale Italian restaurant in New York City. Black squid ink

dough, sprinkled with one of the most expensive kinds of cheese in the world, caviar, and

24K gold leaves. Would you be willing to eat that much money???

And if we talk about the US, you can find the cheapest plain pizza in... Alaska! There,

8. The biggest dog in the world (if we talk about its weight) was Cloe, a Mastiff that

weighed 365 lb, as much as a full-grown reindeer! Cloe lived in Tibet back in the ‘80s.

The smallest living dog is Milly, a Chihuahua from Dorado, Puerto Rico. When the tiny thing

was born, she didn't even weigh 1 ounce and could fit in a teaspoon! Now, this itsy-bitsy

9. The longest outdoor escalator and moving walkway system is in Hong Kong. The Central-Mid-Levels

escalator is 2,600 ft long and goes just one way at a time depending on rush hour. The

world's longest individual escalators are at the – Uuh, let’s just throw the names

up on the screen. Thanks! – subway stations in St. Petersburg, Russia. To get down, you'll

have to take a 453-ft-long escalator ride, which is as tall as the Great Pyramid of Giza!

As for the shortest escalator in the world, it’s in the basement of More's Department

Store in Kawasaki, Japan. It has only 5 steps and is just over 2½ ft long.

10. The loudest city in the world is Mumbai, India. Its noise level is more than 100 decibels,

which is almost as loud as a chainsaw! The world's quietest place is a room in a

Microsoft research lab in Redmond, Washington state. It’s so eerily quiet that nobody

can stay there for more than 45 minutes at a time. Supposedly, you can hear your own

11. If you want to see the tallest building in the world, you’ll need to book a trip

to Dubai. The Burj Khalifa is a jaw-dropping 2,720 ft tall, which makes it 2 times taller

than the Empire State Building. The "world's littlest skyscraper" is the Newby-McMahon

Building in Wichita Falls, Texas. It’s just 40 ft tall (roughly the height of a telephone

pole) and got the nickname because it looks like a thin column.

12. Next to the Burj Khalifa, there’s the world's tallest hotel, the JM Marriott Marquis

Dubai. This impressive construction is 1,165 ft high, which is even taller than the Eiffel

Tower! And the world's smallest is -- oh golly, let’s

just put up the name guys – I always stumble over umlauts. Anyway, it’s in Bavaria. The

building is a mere 8 ft wide and has a floorspace with a square footage not much more than 3

parking spaces. No wonder the hotel can't accommodate more than 2 guests at a time!

13. The tallest bridge in the world is the Millau Viaduct in Southern France. Its maximum

point soars at 1,125 ft above the ground, which is -- really high for a bridge.

The smallest drawbridge in the world is in Bermuda. There, Somerset Bridge connects Somerset

Island with the mainland. The length of the bridge is a little over 2½ ft.

14. The world's most expensive private jet is a Boeing 747-8 VIP. It originally cost

$358 million, but customization took the total price up to $558 million.

As for the one with the lowest price tag, it’d be the small Cirrus Vision Jet that’ll

15. The biggest school in the world is in Lucknow, India. It's the City Montessori School,

where you’ll find almost 40,000 students and well over 2,000 teachers!

The title for the smallest goes to an elementary school in the teeny town of Alpette, Italy.

In 2014, it was attended by just one 8-year-old student.

16. The largest art museum in the world is the Louvre. You’ll “Lourve” to see it!

The Parisian landmark covers a total area of almost 783,000 sq ft – that’s over

13 football fields. Have you noticed how we compare two things that have absolutely nothing

in common other than size? But wait there’s more!

The world's smallest museum is in West Yorkshire, England. The Warley Museum used to be a phone

booth, hence why this museum can only have one visitor at a time! It also changes exhibitions

17. The largest plant in the world grows in The Sequoia National Park in California. It’s

a tree nicknamed "General Sherman," and the giant is 271 ft tall, almost as tall as Lady

Liberty. There’s another one. Ha. Together with its root system, it weighs around 1,800

tons. That’s over 15 blue whales! Oops – there we go again.

Duckweed is the world's smallest flowering plant. The thing is smaller than a grain of

sand and has a tiny root with 1 or 2 leaves. The plant flowers every year and even produces

18. The Earth's slowest animal is the three-toed sloth. Its maximum speed is 15 ft per hour!

That's why these animals don't usually wander further than 100 ft a day and are pretty much

stuck in one place. The world's fastest land animal is the cheetah.

Its speed can reach 75 mph (that’s 26,400 times faster than the sloth), and the feline
