1. A whole pineapple 1.2 kg

   Pineapples take nearly two years to grow, and each plant produces just one fruit at a time.

2. 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.

3. Big Ben, the Great Bell of Westminster 13.8 t

   Big Ben is the bell, not the tower — and it cracked within months of entering service in 1859; the odd tone is the crack.

4. An adult blue whale 140 t

   The largest animal ever known has a heart the size of a small car, and its calves gain roughly 90 kg per day on milk alone.

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. The Empire State Building 331K t

   Built in just 410 days during the Depression, it sat so empty at first that New Yorkers dubbed it the 'Empty State Building'.
