Her tiny form is disarming. But Jyoti Amge's dreams are as big as those of her friends.
At 15 she stands just 1ft 11½in tall and weighs less than a stone, giving her one very big claim to fame - as the smallest girl in the world.
Doctors believe Jyoti is a pituitary dwarf but have never been able to pinpoint her condition.
Such dwarfism is caused when the body fails to produce enough growth hormone.

Largest Image In the World
Microsoft creates a one trillion pixel, 802 GB image of the night sky :
Look at the picture above. It is a toned-down, 500x500 pixel version of an iconic picture. Had we had the audacity (or the facility!) to put up the full blown picture that this actually is, it would have taken you a couple of years to load this page on your normal broadband connection. One terapixels, yes, 1,000,000,000,000 pixels displaying the sky in all its glory and taking up a whopping 802 GB of disk space.

The Caterpillar 797B is an ultra class mining truck manufactured by Caterpillar Inc. The 797B is the largest mechanical dump truck in the world.
This truck is so large that it can not be driven on the highway to location, so it must be taken there in pieces and constructed at the job site. A single tyre of the Caterpillar 797B (the Michelin 59/80R63), costs $40,000, and is 13 feet (4 meters) high.

10 Unexplained Mysteries
10. Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp
The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp is a humanoid cryptid which is said to inhabit areas of swampland in and around Lee County, South Carolina. He is described as being seven feet tall (over 2m), bipedal, and well built, with green scaly skin and glowing orange eyes. It is said to have three toes on each foot and three fingers on each hand which end in a circular pad on them that stick to walls. The first reported sighting of the creature was made by Christopher Davis, a 17 year old local, who said he encountered the creature while driving home from work at 2 AM on June 29, 1988. According to his account, Davis stopped on a road bordering Scape Ore Swamp in order to change a tire which had blown out. When he was finishing up he reported having heard a thumping noise from behind him and having turned around to seethe creature running towards him. Davis said the creature tried to grab at the car and then jumped on its roof as he tried to escape, clinging on to it as Davis swerved from side to side in an effort to throw it off. After he returned home, Davis’ side-view-mirror was found to be badly damaged, and scratch marks were found on the car’s roof–though there was no other physical evidence of his encounter.
