World’s Biggest Truck
If you’re into cars, particularly big ones, this will surely blow you away. The world’s largest truck in doing it’s job in the US, in Wyoming, Australia, the copper mines in Chile, or extracting iron in South Africa and gold in Nevada. It weighs 203 tonnes (when empty), and measures 24 foot 3 inches (7.4 metres) tall over the canopy, 47 feet 6 inches (14.5 metres) long.

Emma Mærsk, World’s Largest Container
Emma Mærsk, the Danish container, currently is the world’s largest container and - as of 2008 - the longest ship in use. The ship was dubbed the SS Santa due to its load - in 2006 it was headed to the United Kingdom from China loaded with Christmas goods. Luckily for the planet and for our sake, the ship has several features for protecting the environment - it can recycle the exhaust, mixed with fresh air, back into the engine for reuse.

The specimen is five times larger than an average lobster and is adorned with distinctive mustaches that weigh over 4 kilograms. The lobster was named Poseidon and is currently being studied by scientists. Poseidon could feed a small village, but I am sure the screams would be deafening when he hit the boiling water.

The World’s Biggest Spiderweb
This might be one of the biggest, if not the biggest spiderweb ever found. This huge web was found covering 180 meters of trees and bushes by the employees of park Lake Tawakoni in Texas. It’s not yet clear if this “work of art” has been made by a single or a colony of spiders. The web was initially white, but turned dark when all the mosquitoes got caught in it. Also, nothing was said about the species of spider found at the location. Until further information is provided, here is the huge white web.
