Stuck at the airport

Pull over for these really big things

Who can resist pulling over when a sign for a "World's Largest..." pops up on the side of the highway. Not me. And, hopefully, not you. Check out some of these really big things.

Who can resist pulling off the highway when a “World’s Largest…” sign appears?

Not me. And you shouldn’t either. Because these really big things I found for a recent round-up on World’s Largest  things are really great.

Here’s a sampling:

Vulcan, Birmingham Alabama’s colossal statue is the world’s largest cast iron statue.
Albert, the World’s Largest Bull (45 tons, 30 feet tall), in Audubon, Iowa
The Land of 10,000 Lakes is home to the World’s Largest Ball of Twine made by one man. It’s 13 feet in diameter and more than 17,400 pounds.
At the City Museum in St. Louis: a 7 foot tall pair of underpants!
In Huron, South Dakota, the state’s official bird is honored with a 22-foot-tall, 22-ton fiberglass fowl that is World’s Largest Pheasant

Happiest in an airport or an unusual museum.
