We’ve all heard
of the world’s largest ball of twine. I saw a contest recently for the world’s largest pie. American’s, it seems, are
enthralled with notions of the World’s Largest anything, and a trip
across country in search of such things would make a fine book. In fact, one
such book has been written by Doug Kirby.
Well, in the spirit of celebrating this kind of weird
Americana, here is a cool piece by Dennis McCann
about all things World’s Largest. He tracks down valuable information that you absolutely MUST now about the World’s
Largest Corkscrew, the World’s Largest Indian, the World’s Largest Penny (pictured)…to name just a few. Now, why on
earth the World’s Largest Corkscrew is not paired with the World’s Largest Bottle of Wine is one of those perplexing
mysteries that will endure until the end of time. For now, then, we must content ourselevs with pondering the deeper
existential utterances of the World’s Largest
Talking Cow.
