1. A standard steel paperclip 1 g

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

   A single pomegranate can hold over 600 juicy seeds, called arils, and the fruit stars in myths from Greece to Persia.

   Rats emit ultrasonic giggles when tickled and come back for more — research that helped earn an Ig Nobel Prize.

4. An adult blue whale 140 t

   The heaviest aircraft ever built was destroyed in Ukraine in 2022; 'Mriya' means 'dream' in Ukrainian.
