By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. A full deck of 52 playing cards 94 g

   Shuffle properly and you have almost certainly created an ordering of the deck no human in history has ever seen before.

2. An adult hippopotamus 1.5 t

   Hippos cannot actually swim — they sink and gallop along the riverbed, surfacing to breathe every few minutes.

3. An adult male Asian elephant 4 t

   You can tell it from its African cousin by the much smaller ears and the twin domes on its forehead.

4. 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.

5. The CN Tower in Toronto 117.9K t

   It held the title of world's tallest free-standing structure for 32 years, and its glass floor was the world's first.

6. 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.
