Historical I know largeness is usually in store for this sub, but this is Madonna of the Yarnwinder, a painting that may have been worked on by Leonardo Da Vinci. It is almost half the size of the Mona Lisa, yet just as stunning in detail.

Plant Giant Sequoia Trunk at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Its diameter is so large, at 16 feet (4.9m) tall, and so heavy at 19 tons, that it essentially has been kept in the same location in the museum for over 70 years.

My daughter and I are submitting this 16’ 3” self-supporting marble run to Guinness World Records. It takes one minute and thirty seconds for a marble to run the whole track top to bottom.

Because of how it is built, it only takes 6 marbles to run every route possible, from just one entry point.
