I saw an article in National Geographic Magazine listing all of the second biggest, fastest, oldest, tallest animals, cities, languages, oceans, mountains, etc... of the world. The article inspired me to check out the 10th largest, smallest, heaviest, deepest, etc... animals, humans, oceans, mountains, etc...., of the world and the United States.

It's mind blowing that there is someone born in 1896 still alive. I would so love to talk to them! Must have amazing memories of the 20s & fashion, god they've seen it all!
