			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is really hard to tell which animal is the most poisonous in the world. The one that has the most toxic chemicals? The one that kills the biggest amount of people a year? Or maybe the one with the biggest amount of poison?</p>
<p>First of all, I have to admit that the title is a bit incorrect, because there is a difference between poisonous and venomous animals. A poisonous animal carries harmful chemicals called toxins primarily used for self defense. Therefore venomous animals deliver their toxins by stinging, stabbing, or biting. So poisonous animals are passive killers, while venomous animals are active killers.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, theory aside, they are all really dangerous. So look really closely at each photo, cause next time you meet them can be the last thing you ever see.</p>
<p>1. Box Jellyfish</p>
<p><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Box-Jellyfish.jpg" alt="" title="Box Jellyfish" width="500" height="314" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2584" /></p>
<p>The top prize for “The World Most Venomous Animal,” would go to the Box Jellyfish. It has caused at least 5,567 recorded deaths since 1954. Their venom is among the most deadly in the world. It’s toxins attack the heart, nervous system, and skin cells. And the worst part of it is that jelly box venom is so overpoweringly painful, that human victims go in shock, drown or die of heart failure before even reaching shore. Survivors experience pain weeks after the contact with box jellies.</p>
<p>You have virtually no chance to survive the venomous sting, unless treated immediately. After a sting, vinegar should be applied for a minimum of 30 seconds. Vinegar has acetic acid, which disables the box jelly’s nematocysts that have not yet discharged into the bloodstream (though it will not alleviate the pain). Wearing panty hose while swimming is also a good prevention measure since it can prevent jellies from being able to harm your legs.</p>
<p>Jelly box can be found in the waters around Asia and Australia.</p>
<p>2. King Cobra</p>
<p><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/King-Cobra.jpg" alt="" title="King Cobra" width="500" height="374" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2585" /></p>
<p>The King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is the world’s longest venomous snake – growing up to 5.6 m (18.5 ft) in length. Ophiophagus, literally means “snake-eater” as it eats other snakes. One single bite of this deadly snake can easily kill a human. This snake is even capable of killing a full-grown Asian Elephant within 3 hours if the larger animal is bitten in a vulnerable area such as the trunk.</p>
<p>It’s venom is not as toxic as other venomous snakes, but King Cobra is capable of injecting 5 times more venom than black mamba and can result in mortality up to 5 times faster than that of the black mamba. It is quite widespread, ranging across South and South-east Asia, living in dense highland forests.</p>
<p>3. Marbled Cone Snail</p>
<p><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Marbled-Cone-Snail.jpg" alt="" title="Marbled Cone Snail" width="500" height="326" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2586" /></p>
<p>This little beautiful looking Marbled Cone snail can be as deadly as any other animal on this list. One drop of its venom is so powerful that it can kill more than 20 humans. If you ever happen to be in warm salt water environment (where these snails are often found) and see it, don’t even think of picking it up. Of course, the true purpose of its venom is to catch its prey.</p>
<p>Symptoms of a cone snail sting can start immediately or can be delayed in onset for days. It results in intense pain, swelling, numbness and tingling. Severe cases involve muscle paralysis, vision changes and breathing failure. There is no antivenom. However, only about 30 human deaths have been recorded from cone snail envenomation.</p>
<p>4. Blue-Ringed Octopus</p>
<p><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Blue-Ringed-Octopus.jpg" alt="" title="Blue Ringed Octopus" width="500" height="371" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2587" /></p>
<p>The Blue-Ringed Octopus is very small, only the size of a golf ball, but its venom is so powerful that can kill a human. Actually it carries enough poison to kill 26 adult humans within minutes, and there is no antidote. They are currently recognized as one of the world’s most venomous animals.</p>
<p>Its painless bite may seem harmless, but the deadly neurotoxins begin working immediately resulting in muscular weakness, numbness, followed by a cessation and breathing and ultimately death.</p>
<p>They can be found in tide pools in the Pacific Ocean, from Japan to Australia.</p>
<p>5. Death Stalker Scorpion</p>
<p><a href="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Death-Stalker-Scorpions.jpg"><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Death-Stalker-Scorpions.jpg" alt="" title="Death Stalker Scorpions" width="500" height="327" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2588" /></a></p>
<p>Contrarily to the popular belief most of the scorpions are relatively harmless to humans as stings produce only local effects (pain, numbness or swelling). However, the Death Starker Scorpion is highly dangerous species because its venom is a powerful cocktail of neurotoxins which causes an intense and unbearable pain, then fever, followed by coma, convulsions, paralysis and death. Fortunately, while a sting from this scorpion is extremely painful, it would be unlikely to kill a healthy, adult human. Young children, the old, or infirm (with a heart condition) are at the biggest risk.</p>
<p>Death stalker scorpions are spread in North Africa and Middle East.</p>
<p>6. Stonefish</p>
<p><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Stonefish.jpg" alt="" title="Stonefish" width="500" height="333" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2589" /></p>
<p>Maybe Stonefish would never win a beauty contest, but it would definitely win the top prize for being “The World Most Venomous Fish”. Its venom causes such a severe pain that the victims of its sting want the affected limb to be amputated. It is described as the worst pain known to man. It is accompanied with possible shock, paralysis, and tissue death. If not given medical attention within a couple of hours It can be fatal to humans.</p>
<p>Stonefish stores its toxins in gruesome-looking spines that are designed to hurt would-be predators.</p>
<p>Stonefish mostly live above the tropic of Capricorn, often found in the shallow tropical marine waters of the Pacific and Indian oceans, ranging from the Red Sea to the Queensland Great Barrier Reef.</p>
<p>7. The Brazilian wandering spider</p>
<p><a href="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Brazilian-Wandering-Spider.jpg"><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Brazilian-Wandering-Spider.jpg" alt="" title="Brazilian Wandering Spider" width="500" height="350" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2590" /></a></p>
<p>The Brazilian Wandering Spider (Phoneutria) or banana spider appears in the Guinness Book of World Records 2007 for the most venomous spider and is the spider responsible for most human deaths.</p>
<p>This spider is believed to have the most potent neurotoxic venom of any living spider. Only 0.006mg (0.00000021oz) is sufficient to kill a mouse. They are also so dangerous because of their wandering nature. They often hide during daytime in highly populated areas inside houses, clothes, boots, and cars.</p>
<p>Its venomous bite causes not only intense pain, the venom of the spider can also cause priapism – uncomfortable erections lasting for many hours that lead to impotence.</p>
<p>8. Inland Taipan</p>
<p><a href="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Inland-Taipan.jpg"><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Inland-Taipan.jpg" alt="" title="Inland Taipan" width="500" height="331" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2591" /></a></p>
<p>The prize for “The World’s Most Venomous Snake” goes to the Inland Taipan of Australia. Just a single bite from this snake contains enough venom to kill 100 human adults or an army of 250,000 mice. Its venom is at least 200 – 400 times more toxic than a common cobra. The Inland Taiwan’s extremely neurotoxic venom can kill an adult human in as little as 45 minutes. Fortunately this snake is very shy and there have been no documented human fatalities (all known bites were treated with antivenin).</p>
<p>9. Poison Dart Frog</p>
<p><a href="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Poison-Dart-Frog.jpg"><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Poison-Dart-Frog.jpg" alt="" title="Poison Dart Frog" width="500" height="395" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2592" /></a></p>
<p>If you ever happen to be running through the rain forests somewhere in Central or South America, do not ever pick up beautiful and colorful frogs – it can be the Poison Dart Frog. This frog is probably the most poisonous animal on earth.The 2 inch long (5cm) golden poison dart frog has enough venom to kill 10 adult humans or 20,000 mice. Only 2 micrograms of this lethal toxin (the amount that fits on the head of a pin) is capable of killing a human or other large mammal. They are called “dart frogs” because indigenous Amerindians’ use of their toxic secretions to poison the tips of their blow-darts. Poison dart frogs keep their poison in their skins and will sicken or kill anybody who touches or eats it.</p>
<p>10. Puffer Fish</p>
<p><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Puffer-Fish.jpg" alt="" title="Puffer Fish" width="500" height="422" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2593" /></p>
<p>Puffer Fish are the second most poisonous vertebrate on earth (the first one is golden dart Frog). The meat of some species is a delicacy in both Japan (as fugu) and Korea (as bok-uh) but the problem is that the skin and certain organs of many puffer fish are very poisonous to humans.</p>
<p>This puffy fish produce rapid and violent death..Puffer’s poisoning causes deadening of the tongue and lips, dizziness, vomiting, rapid heart rate, difficulty breathing, and muscle paralysis. Victims die from suffocation as diaphragm muscles are paralyzed. Most of the victims die after four to 24 hours. There is no known antidote, Most deaths from fugu happen when untrained people catch and prepare the fish.</p>
<p>Statistics show that there were 20 to 44 incidents of fugu poisoning per year between 1996 and 2006 in all of Japan and up to six incidents per year led to death. Since Fugu’s poison can cause near instantaneous death, only licensed chefs are allowed to prepare it. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>They&#8217;re called &#8220;Lazarus species&#8221; — creatures that have disappeared, sometimes for millions of years, only to miraculously be rediscovered again in modern times. Just as Lazarus was raised from the dead by Jesus in the Gospel of John, so these species manage to survive. Their rediscoveries are a bewildering reminder that when given a chance, life finds a way to survive. Here&#8217;s a short list of 13 animals long-feared extinct that, in fact, have been rediscovered.</p>
<p>Coelacanth</p>
<p><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Coelacanth.jpg" alt="Coelacanth" title="Coelacanth" width="400" height="320" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2139" /></p>
<p>Coelacanth are an ancient order of fish believed to have gone extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period some 65-plus million years ago. That was until 1938, when one was miraculously discovered off the east coast of South Africa near the mouth of the Chalumna River. Closely related to lungfishes and tetrapods, coelacanths are among the oldest living jawed fishes known to exist. They can live as long as 100 years and swim at depths of 90 to 100 meters.</p>
<p>Bermuda Petrel</p>
<p><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Bermuda-Petrel.jpg" alt="Bermuda Petrel" title="Bermuda Petrel" width="400" height="320" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2140" /></p>
<p>The dramatic rediscovery of the Bermuda Petrel has become one of the most inspiring stories in the history of nature conservation. Believed extinct for 330 years, the birds had not been seen since the 1620s. Then, in 1951, 18 nesting pairs were found on remote rocky islets in Castle Harbor. Even so, they are still battling extinction today with a global population just over 250 individuals.</p>
<p>Chacoan peccary</p>
<p><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Chacoan-peccary.jpg" alt="Chacoan peccary" title="Chacoan peccary" width="400" height="320" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2141" /></p>
<p>The Chacoan is the largest (by size) species of peccary, a beast that resembles a pig but hails from a different continent and cannot be domesticated. The Chacoan peccary was first described in 1930 based only on fossil records, and was believed to be extinct. Then in 1975, surprised researchers discovered one alive in the Chaco region of Paraguay. Today there are around 3,000 known individuals.</p>
<p>Lord Howe Island stick insect</p>
<p><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Lord-Howe-Island-stick-insect.jpg" alt="Lord Howe Island stick insect" title="Lord Howe Island stick insect" width="400" height="320" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2142" /></p>
<p>Sometimes referred to as “land lobsters” or “walking sausages,” the Lord Howe stick insect is considered the rarest insect in the world. Believed extinct since 1930 after being wiped off its only known native habitat on Lord Howe Island, the enormous insect was rediscovered in 2001 when fewer than 30 individuals were found living underneath a single shrub on the small islet of Ball&#8217;s Pyramid, the world&#8217;s tallest and most isolated sea stack.</p>
<p>Monito del Monte</p>
<p><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Monito-del-Monte.jpg" alt="Monito del Monte" title="Monito del Monte" width="400" height="320" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2143" /></p>
<p>The Monito del Monte is a remarkable, diminutive marsupial believed to have been extinct for 11 million years until one was discovered in a thicket of Chilean bamboo in the southern Andes. The creature is more closely related to Australian marsupials than to other South American ones, and it is likely related to the earliest known Australian marsupial which lived 55 million years ago</p>
<p>La Palma giant lizard</p>
<p><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/La-Palma-giant-lizard.jpg" alt="La Palma giant lizard" title="La Palma giant lizard" width="400" height="320" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2144" /></p>
<p>Until its recent rediscovery in 2007, the La Palma giant lizard was believed to have been extinct for around 500 years. It was found again so recently that the IUCN Red List still lists the animal as extinct. Found in the La Palma region of the Canary Islands, the lone discovered individual had an estimated age of 4 years and was a foot long. New expeditions to the area are currently planned in hopes of finding a breeding population.</p>
<p>Takahe</p>
<p><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Takahe.jpg" alt="Takahe" title="Takahe" width="400" height="320" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2145" /></p>
<p>The Takahe is a flightless bird indigenous to New Zealand thought to be extinct after the last four known specimens were taken in 1898. However, after a carefully planned search effort, the bird was rediscovered in 1948 near Lake Anau. This extremely rare, odd-looking bird remains endangered today, with only 225 individuals remaining.</p>
<p>Cuban solenodon</p>
<p><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Cuban-solenodon.jpg" alt="Cuban solenodon" title="Cuban solenodon" width="400" height="320" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2146" /></p>
<p>This strange-looking creature is so rare that only 37 specimens have ever been caught. It was originally discovered in 1861, but no individuals were found from 1890 to 1974. Unusual among mammals in that its saliva is venomous, the Cuban solenodon was most recent sighted in 2003, an event so celebrated that the individual was given a name: Alejandrito.</p>
<p>New Caledonian crested gecko</p>
<p><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/New-Caledonian-crested-gecko.jpg" alt="New Caledonian crested gecko" title="New Caledonian crested gecko" width="400" height="320" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2147" /></p>
<p>Originally described in 1866 and long feared extinct, this unusual gecko was rediscovered in 1994 in the aftermath of a tropical storm. Its oddest features are the hair-like projections found above the eyes and a crest which runs from each eye to the tail. The species is currently being assessed for CITES protection and endangered status.</p>
<p>New Holland mouse</p>
<p><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/New-Holland-mouse.jpg" alt="New Holland mouse" title="New Holland mouse" width="400" height="320" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2148" /></p>
<p>The New Holland mouse was first discovered in 1843. It vanished from view for over a century before its rediscovery in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park north of Sydney in 1967. The cute creatures are still fighting for their existence despite valiant conservation efforts. One of its remote Victorian populations was wiped out in the Australian wildfires of 1983, although healthier populations still exist in New South Wales and Tasmania.</p>
<p>Giant Palouse earthworm</p>
<p><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Giant-Palouse-earthworm.jpg" alt="Giant Palouse earthworm" title="Giant Palouse earthworm" width="400" height="320" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2149" /></p>
<p>Originally discovered in 1897, these giant worms were declared extinct in the 1980s until three specimens were unearthed, the most recent in 2005. Found in Eastern Washington state and parts of Idaho, these ghostly burrowers can dig down as deep as 15 feet, grow to as long as 3.3 feet in length, and are albino in appearance.</p>
<p>Large-billed reed-warbler</p>
<p><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Large-billed-reed-warbler.jpg" alt="Large-billed reed-warbler" title="Large-billed reed-warbler" width="400" height="320" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2150" /></p>
<p>This species has been hailed as the world&#8217;s least-known bird. It is known only from a single specimen collected in 1867, and was long believed extinct. Then in Thailand in 2006, a wild population was discovered and confirmed to be large-billed reed-warblers via DNA matching to the original specimen. Today the birds largely remain a mystery, and unfortunately DNA sequence variation points to a stable or shrinking population structure</p>
<p>Laotian rock rat</p>
<p><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Laotian-rock-rat.jpg" alt="Laotian rock rat" title="Laotian rock rat" width="400" height="320" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2151" /></p>
<p>This species was first discovered for sale as meat at a market in Thakhek, Khammouan, in Laos in 1996, and was considered so unusual and distinct from any other living rodent that it was given its own family. Then in 2006, after a systematic reanalysis, the Laotian rock rat was reclassified — incredibly — to belong to an ancient fossil family that was thought to have gone extinct 11 million years ago. Return trips to Laos by the Wildlife Conservation Society have uncovered several other specimens, raising hopes that the animal may not be as rare as once thought.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We talk about the scarlet magic as the <a href="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/world-tallest-cat-ever-scarlett%e2%80%99s-magic">tallest savannah cat</a>, and also the <a href="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/world-tallest-dog-ever">tallest dog</a> and several months ago we have sultan kosen as the tallest man in the world. now we got another tall creature here. this is the <strong>tallest horse ever</strong></p>
<p>He&#8217;s ten feet tall with his head upright, weighs 3,000lb, and stands at 20.2 hands at the shoulder.</p>
<p>So is Poe the Clydesdale the world&#8217;s tallest horse?</p>
<p>His diminutive owner Shereen Thompson thinks so &#8211; and said she wants to &#8216;get the Guinness guys here as soon as possible&#8217;.</p>
<p>Poe stands 6ft 8.75in (80.8in) from hoof to shoulder. That is taller than the current tallest horse Remington, who was declared the official Guinness World Record holder only last week at 80in in Princeton, Texas.</p>
<p>Living on Ms Thompson&#8217;s working farm in Tupperville, Ontario, ten-year-old Poe stands ready to inch above his rivals.</p>
<p>&#8216;We want to get the Guinness guys here as soon as possible,&#8217; said Ms Thompson &#8211; who is dwarfed by her gentle giant, who towers over her 5ft 3in,120lb frame.<br />
10ft Poe World</p>
<p>Neigh high: Ms Thompson, who is just 5ft 3in, is dwarfed by the gentle giant</p>
<p>&#8216;We have known for a while that he could be the tallest horse in the world, we just need to get the official documents that the people in London want to see.</p>
<p>&#8216;Poe is 20.2 hands and I know that Remington is 80 inches tall, so that means that Poe has him beat.&#8217;</p>
<p>Consuming two bales of hay, 10lb of grain and 75 gallons of water each day, Poe needs all the energy he can to support his enormous frame.</p>
<p>The elephant-sized equine belongs to the Clydesdale breed of working farm horse. He was rescued by Ms Thompson from a neighbouring farm when she learned the owner there was having problems with him.<br />
10ft Poe World</p>
<p>Feeding machine: Poe, shown here taking a gallop through the fields, eats two bales of hay a day to support his massive frame</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1830" title="Tallest Dog" src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/article1216852069f769f0.jpg" alt="Tallest Dog" width="507" height="406" /></p>
<p>It was not a case of neglect, just ignorance of how much is needed to feed a horse of this size,&#8217; Ms Thompson explain. &#8216;So we brought him in and began to feed him up.&#8217;</p>
<p>That was in February of 2008. A horse like Poe needs about 18 months to rebuild his strength, Ms Thompson said.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1831" title="Poe the Tallest Horse" src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/article1216852069f7d8c0.jpg" alt="Poe the Tallest Horse" width="507" height="322" /></p>
<p>&#8216;Poe used to work in nearby London, Canada, pulling the crates of Budweiser, rather like the horses of Youngs Brewery used to in London, England,&#8217; she explained.</p>
<p>&#8216;We built him up over time and then began to realise his sheer size as he bulked out.&#8217;</p>
<p>Named after the famous author Edgar Allen Poe, this giant horse spends the majority of his time now running the fields of Ms Thompson&#8217;s farm.</p>
<p>&#8216;We take him to fairs across Lambton County,&#8217; she said. &#8216;He is extremely popular, but his size always means people keep a cautious distance from him &#8211; although they shoudn&#8217;t, as he is a real puppy.</p>
<p>&#8216;But he does sometime forget his strength and drags me along if he wants to play or go chasing something that has caught his attention</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Remember about The <a href="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/world-tallest-cat-ever-scarlett%e2%80%99s-magic">tallest cat</a> which posted here several days ago?? now we will present you another tall animal. in this case we will talk about world tallest dog ever. this dog will be the perfect soul mate for <a href="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/world-tallest-cat-ever-scarlett%e2%80%99s-magic">Scarlett magic</a> as the <a href="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/sultan-kosen-as-the-world-tallest-man-2009">tallest</a> animal couple.. hehehe just kiddding. here&#8217;s the story goes</p>
<p>An American woman has claimed that her pet dog is the world’s tallest canine.</p>
<p>At 3 feet tall at the shoulders and 7 feet long from nose to wagging tail, he might be a contender.</p>
<p>Caryn Weber claims that her 3-year-old Landseer Newfoundland keeps all four paws on the floor when he drinks from the kitchen sink in her family’s farm house in eastern North Dakota.</p>
<div id="attachment_1814" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 416px"><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/tallestdog9771016.jpg" alt="World Tallest Dog Ever" title="World Tallest Dog Ever" width="406" height="389" class="size-full wp-image-1814" /><p class="wp-caption-text">World Tallest Dog Ever</p></div>
<p>Boomer can stare into a car window eye to eye with a driver, Ms Weber says. A 20-pound bag of dry dog food lasts the 180-pound animal just a couple of weeks.</p>
<div id="attachment_1815" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 470px"><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/dog1497711c9244583.jpg" alt="Tallest Dog in the World" title="Tallest Dog in the World" width="460" height="288" class="size-full wp-image-1815" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Tallest Dog in the World</p></div>
<p>Ms Weber says the fluffy black and white dog “comes into the house and his tail is so high everything gets knocked around”.</p>
<p><img src="http://worldmustbecrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/algdog9460536.jpg" alt="Big Dog" title="Big Dog" width="485" height="367" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1816" /></p>
<p>Weber plans to send Boomer’s measurements to Guinness World Records. The previous record holder was a Great Dane that measured nearly 4 feet tall. That dog died last summer.</p>
