Even more laughable than large bills is Canada’s million dollar coin! Not only is the worth of the coin a bit heavy, so is the actual weight, 220.5 lbs. Canada created this coin in response to Austria’s claim to world’s largest coin. I love the Canadian’s for willing to blow a million dollars on a single coin, the best waste of money ever.

Howdy,
My name is lurker Tom, and I am a Charm City resident (Baltimore). In previous times I was a political science and philosophy major, with aspirations to change the world; preferably by gaining super human powers. Currently, I run a rather unsuccessful nonprofit organization by night, and by day I do marketing and sales work while reading Neatorama articles. I still dream of being a superhero, perhaps tomorrow I will have better luck with that ambition. Keep on rockin’ in the free world Neatorama!

Or maybe a key for a sardine can.

It is a key for winding a music box.

In the past certain trees have protected families from the evils of the world. Junipers were planted as protection from thieves and witches. Mountain ash twigs were tied into knots to prevent witchcraft.

In celebration of great trees I would like to remind people of “Pando”, generally considered the largest living organism in the world. “Pando” is a colony of Aspen trees that are genetically identical and share the same root system. The over mass of the colony weighs in around 6,000 tons and the root system is thought to be the oldest living organism, dating back some 80,000 years.
