• The largest flower in the world (Rafflesia arnoldii) grows in Indonesia and can be as big as a garbage can (3 feet wide) and weigh as much as a TV (15 pounds).
• The smallest bone in your body is in your ear. It's called the stirrup or staples bone, and it's about as big as a grain of rice.
• If you took all the blood vessels in your body and stretched them into one line, it would be 60,000 miles long. That's enough to go more than twice around Earth.
• One of the biggest living things is an underground mushroom in Oregon that's 3 1/2 miles across. It would take you about half a day to hike all the way across it.
