The biggest man-made physical drawing on Earth
I'd be surprised to learn if there was a bigger man made art project that was not on Earth, say, the dark side of the moon or something, but to be clear, this is the biggest drawing on Earth.
Jim Denevan made the world's largest freehand drawing a few weeks ago on a dry lake in Nevada. It's three miles across, meaning he had to walk around the desert for 8 days to get it done, only for it to be destroyed by a rainstorm just a week later.
This picture is taken from 13,000 feet, and that tiny speck in the middle is the artist. Check the link for some great photos. I'd be surprised to learn if there was a bigger man made art project that was not on Earth, say, the dark side of the moon or som... more -

Boy blows big time; sets world record
A 13-year-old boy is claiming the world record for blowing balloons with his nose. Using one nostril at a time, Andrew Dahl inflated 213 balloons within an hour Friday in the town's public library. His feat has been submitted for review by Guinness World Records.
His father, Doug Dahl, measured the balloons to make sure each was at least 20 centimeters, about 8 inches, the minimum diameter, and his mother, Wendy Dahl, kept the tally.
