Speaking of longest records, a Colorado coonhound named Harbor holds the one for dog with the longest ears. His left ear stretches to 31.12 centimetres (12.25 inches), while his right measure 34.3 centimetres (13.5 inches).
The most expensive movie made is 'Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End', which came out in 2007. The film's estimated production budget was around $300 million US. If the budgets of films are adjusted for inflation to 2010 dollars, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End would cost $315 million US to make, narrowly beating out the 1963 classic Cleopatra.

Norwegian adventurer Cecilie Skog holds the women's record for the fastest time to complete the
three poles challenge. The challenge involved conquering the three extremes of the North Pole, the South Pole and Mount Everest.
Skog also holds the record for fastest unsupported trek to the North Pole by a female. It took her, her husband Rolf Bae and teammate Per Henry Borch 48 days and 22 hours to achieve the feat in 2006.
The recognition seems bitter sweet. Skog decided to stop climbing the earth's most dangerous peaks after her husband's death in 2008 on the slopes of K2, the world's second largest, but most dangerous, mountain.
That would be the International Space Station. Its final cost will tally over $100 billion US.
The station, which marked its 10th anniversary last year, is about the length and width of a football field. Just over 200 individuals have visited the station, which has orbited the earth a whopping 57,361 times.

This violin is 4.28 metres (14 feet) tall and 1.45 metres (5 metres) wide, weighing more than 100 kilograms. Violin-making masters from Markneukirchen, Germany took up the task and completed the record-breaking instrument in 2010. It takes three people to play the fiddle: one to press the strings and two to hold the giant bow.

Samantha Larson, of Donner Lake, Nevada, holds this record. The Seven Summits are the highest mountains on each of the world's seven continents. The mountains include Kilmanjaro, in Tanzania; Elbrus in Russia, Aconcagua in Argentina, Carstensz in Indonesia, Denali in Alaska, Vinson in Antarctica, and Everest in Nepal.
Larson was 18 when she finished scaling the last of the seven mountains with her father, David.
On the flip side, the oldest man to climb Kilimanjaro is U.K.-born George Solt, who reached the summit at the age of 82 years, 289 days, on July 14, 2010.
