Man Tries to sell New Zealand On eBay

In 2006 a man living in Brisbane, Australia tried to auction of the whole country of New Zealand starting at just one Australian cent. The man didn’t think much of NZ and had only been to the country once. The bidding started at one cent and 22 bids later, it reached  the price of 3000 Australian Dollars which was still an astoundingly small price, given that they were auctioning a whole country. After a couple  days, eBay shut down the bidding and called it ” one of the most stupidest items that had ever been on the the online market place”.

Most of us know that the Blue Whale is one of the largest animals that has ever lived on Earth. It has a body length of around 30 meters and weighs almost 190,000 kilograms but the real fascinating thing about this mammal is its internal organs. Its veins and arteries are so big that a small child- maybe a three or four year old can easily swim through them. Both the arteries and veins are around a quarter of a meter in diameter in most adult whales from age 20 to 60 and they shrink as the whale gets older. This fact just proves how big a whale and its organs are compared to humans. Next time you see your or someone else’s vein, think about how an ant could not fit in there, much less a human
