By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. The Hope Diamond 9.1 g

   The famous blue gem glows an eerie red-orange for minutes after exposure to ultraviolet light — a quirk of trace boron inside.

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 Harley-Davidson Road King motorcycle 365 kg

   Harley once tried to trademark its V-twin engine's 'potato-potato' exhaust rumble, then dropped the case in 2000.

4. A Thoroughbred racehorse 570 kg

   At full gallop a racehorse's heart pumps roughly 240 liters of blood per minute — ten times its resting rate.

5. A fully loaded Triple-E class container ship 250K t

   It hauls around 18,000 containers with a crew of only about 22 — fewer people than a fast-food restaurant shift.

6. 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.
