A massive 160 meter long and 24 meter high Santa Claus has been sculpted out of ice in China’s northern city of Harbin.

The sculpture is said to be the largest ice Santa in the world, complete with beard and hat.

“It is even bigger and higher than last year’s, and more difficult. The weather swings between warm and cold, so it becomes very wet and slippery on the ice. It is very dangerous for us,” one of the sculptors said". Full story over here: news.yahoo.com

World's Largest Donut Made of Donuts

If Homer Simpson thought heaven was the episode where he was in hell with a never-ending supply of doughnuts, then Circular Quay this morning would have come a close second.

To celebrate the release of The Simpsons Movie on dvd, the Simpsons family oversaw the construction of the world’s largest doughnut.

It took 40 people over nine hours to build, using over 90,000 doughnuts, half a tonne of pink icing and 30kg of sprinkles from Donut King.

The giant doughnut measures six metres and weighs a whopping 3.5 tonnes, which is the equivalent of two rhinoceroses.
