1. A FIFA regulation soccer ball 430 g

   World Cup balls are tested in wind tunnels; the 2010 'Jabulani' was so smooth that goalkeepers complained it swerved unpredictably.

2. The FIFA World Cup Trophy 6.2 kg

   Winners only keep a gold-plated replica; the 18-karat original stays with FIFA and gets each champion engraved on its base.

3. A whole wheel of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese 38 kg

   Italian banks accept aging Parmesan wheels as loan collateral, storing thousands of them in climate-controlled vaults.

4. An adult male wild boar 90 kg

   Wild boars are thriving so well they have spread or been introduced to every continent except Antarctica.

5. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai 500K t

   The world's tallest building is tall enough to watch the sunset at the base, ride the elevator up, and watch it set again.

6. The Golden Gate Bridge 805K t
