Cool idea, but since one one dimension (height?) was considered, you get some weird things like a cactus (12m) being way bigger than a house (7m).

- duiker101 5y agoNot to mention the bigger than the Hippopotamus :D Very cool project tho!

- rob74 5y agoAccording to Wikipedia, Saguaro cacti "can grow to be over 12 meters (40 feet) tall". So, a real old and real huge Saguaro can be bigger than your average house (or palm tree): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saguaro#/media/File:Saguaro_with_many_arms.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saguaro#/media/File:Saguaro_wi.... But I would say 99% of them aren't...
- franga2000 5y agoOh yeah, I looked it up too and was really surprised, being from Cetral Europe and having never seen a cactus outside of a pot before :)
- wongarsu 5y agoEven more confusingly, it's not consistent about the measured dimension. The car is 1.8m (wide), the firetruck is 2.3m (wide), the tractor is 5m (long), the bus is 12m (long), the statue of liberty is 46m (high), the astrodome is 66m (high). It would have made more sense to stay with either height or the largest dimension (but that would have been weird for mountains, which often are far wider than high).
