1. A standard steel paperclip 1 g

   During WWII, Norwegians wore paperclips on their lapels as a quiet symbol of resistance against occupation.

2. A AAA alkaline battery 11.5 g

   Despite the tiny package, a fresh AAA stores enough energy to hoist an adult human several meters into the air.

3. An adult red fox 5.2 kg

   Red foxes may use Earth's magnetic field to aim their famous pouncing dives — they prefer striking toward the northeast.

4. A full-size kitchen refrigerator 135 kg

   Refrigeration changed cuisine more than almost any invention; Einstein even co-patented a fridge with no moving parts in 1930.

5. The Liberty Bell 943 kg

   Its famous crack was widened on purpose — an 1846 repair meant to stop the fracture instead ruined the bell's tone for good.

6. ENIAC, the first general-purpose electronic computer 27 t

   Its 17,468 vacuum tubes filled a huge room in 1945. The phone in your pocket is literally billions of times faster.
