I was just been watching David Attenborough's Private Life of Plants and he said the Sequoiadendron or Giant Redwood was thew bigger living thing :-\
He's wrong :o
Humongous Fungus
Until August of 2000 it was thought that the largest living organism was a fungus of the same species (Armillaria ostoyae) that covered 1,500 acres (600 hectares) found living in the state of Washington. But then mycology experts surmised that if an Armillaria that large could be found in Washington, then perhaps one just as large could be responsible for the trees dying in the Malheur National Forest in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon. Researchers were astonished at the sheer magnitude of the find. This most recent find was estimated to cover over 2,200 acres (890 hectares) and be at least 2,400 years old, possibly older.

DK idont know weather to say get out more ----or please please please stay indoors:o)

I'm full of useless information like that ( I had to find a site it prove it )
I love proving people wrong Jack Dee the other night also got it wrong !?
This is the QUESTION
Which is the tallest animal in the world ? is it :-
A) Giraffa
B) Blue Whale
In the program the joke was he said Blue Whale but it was Giraffa !?
Same that a Giraffa is about 18 feet to the top of it's horns but a blue whale is 22 feet to the top of it's blow hole :o
So the answer is B not A ;D
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: The blue whale is the largest mammal, possibly the largest animal, to ever inhabit the earth. Its body is long, somewhat tapered, and streamlined, with the head making up less than one-fourth of its total body length. Its rostrum (upper part of the head) is very broad and flat and almost U-shaped, with a single ridge that extends just forward of the blowholes to the tip of the snout. Its blowholes are contained in a large, raised "splash guard", and the blow is tall and straight and over 20 feet (6 meters) high. Its body is smooth and relatively free of parasites, but a few barnacles attach themselves to the edge of the fluke and occasionally to the tips of the flippers and to the dorsal fin. There are 55-68 ventral grooves or pleats extending from the lower jaw to near the navel.

That would be a bad guess, I got 59 bockers to Capital bocking in August. That is the largest UK meet so far
-
i remember seeing a picture of about 70 i believe it was in germany about a month or to after capital bocking
-
Yup, I got 50 Bockers but it is not the largest Bocker gathering. The one in Germany is currently the largest. However, we hold the official World Record
-Carma (The Bocking Rocker)
