- A sheet of A4 printer paper 5 g
A-series paper is metric by design: every size is exactly half the one above it, all sharing the same elegant proportions.
- An average newborn human baby 3.4 kg
Newborns arrive with about 300 bones; many fuse over the years down to the adult count of 206.
- A standard Good Delivery gold bar, the kind in bank vaults 12.4 kg
Smaller than a brick yet heavier than most pet dogs — gold is so dense this bar would fit in a shoebox with room to spare.

Much of the heft is a deliberate concrete counterweight — without it, the spin cycle would walk the machine across your floor.
- An adult Tyrannosaurus rex 8.5 t
'Sue', the most complete T. rex ever found, sold at auction in 1997 for $8.4 million and now has its own social media accounts.
- General Sherman, the giant sequoia in California 1.3K t
Earth's largest single tree by volume is still growing, adding roughly a good-sized ordinary tree's worth of wood every year.
