World's Oldest Cake
Most people throw out their leftovers after a few days -- or at most a few weeks. But a museum in England is displaying a 113-year-old wedding cake that's being called the world's oldest. The Willis Museum in Basingstoke, Hampshire, says the delicately decorated Victorian cake was baked in 1898. The confection has browned over the years and suffered a crack after a World War II bomb blast, but it has survived for more than a century, first in a baker's window and then in storage, before being donated to the museum. A recent investigation with a syringe revealed that the fruitcake inside is still moist.

The world’s smallest car
Made by British inventor
Perry Watkins, the “Wind Up” measures just 41 inches high, 51 inches
long and 26 inches wide and is now listed in the Guinness Book of World
Records as the world's smallest car with a license to drive on public
streets.
It can drive 37 miles per hour and even has seat belts.
Watkins set out to break
the world record before he started building it. He researched details
of the current record holder as well as the legal requirements that
apply to the construction of motor vehicles.
Watkins used a
coin-operated children's ride, which he repainted, for the body
and re-purposed a chassis from a Shanghai Shenke quad bike. He used rear
tires and wheels from a Honda Monkey motorcycle. The front wheels were
custom-made to fit tires from a 1939 Brockhouse Corgi paratrooper’s mini
motorcycle.
Not one to overlook
details, Watkins even affixed a revolving key to the back of the car to
give it the appearance of a wind-up toy.
Watkins is no stranger to building odd vehicles; he has also invented the “Flatmobile,” the world’s lowest car.
