But wait there’smore! The world's smallest museum is in West Yorkshire,England. The Warley Museum used to be a phone booth, hence why this museum can only haveone visitor at a time!

Hisparachute's canopy was just 35 sq ft (that’s about the same as 3 bath towels sewn together)!The world's most massive canopy FORMATION was created by 100 skydivers who linked upmid-air above Florida.
Doing so, their combined canopies were as big as a Boeing-747.

The world's smallest reproduction of aprinted book is "Teeny Ted from Turnip Town." The thing is etched on a microchip the widthof a human hair! It's impossible to read this book without a scanning electron microscope.
The largest published book is "The Little Prince." This record-breaking edition is almost7 ft tall and over 10 ft wide when open! That’s over 200 times bigger than the book’s typicalcopy!
