1. A common housefly 12 mg

   Houseflies beat their wings around 200 times per second, which produces their signature buzzing pitch near the note F.

2. A ruby-throated hummingbird 4 g

   It crosses the Gulf of Mexico nonstop — about 800 km — burning nearly half its body fat in a single 20-hour flight.

3. A regulation golf ball 46 g

   The dimples — usually 300 to 500 of them — cut drag so effectively that a smooth ball would fly only about half as far.

4. An adult Chihuahua 1.8 kg

   The world's smallest dog breed is named after a Mexican state and descends from the Techichi, a companion dog of the Toltecs.

5. A 16-inch MacBook Pro 2.2 kg

   Apple's obsession with grams runs deep: the original 1989 Macintosh Portable weighed more than three of these.

6. The Statue of Liberty 204 t

   Her copper skin is only about as thick as two pennies; the green color is a patina that took roughly 30 years to develop.
