Divine Caroline links to this interest Google Maps image (above and embedded below) that shows California City, the 3rd largest city (in physical size) in the state of California.

California City was an idealized American dream city incorporated in 1965. It spans over 230 miles and was the future hope of some insane real estate developer that just never came to be. The city is so big in fact that it is technically the 11th largest in the entire US, but despite its size only about 6500 people live there.

If you look below, you can see white lines which show the roads and paths that were meant to carry people to and from their homes. It’s a haunting sight that you can experience virtually in Google Street View.

Measuring in at 35 pounds each with a bust size of 72-and-a-half inches, Norma Stitz is The Guinness Book of World Records holder for the person with the largest natural breasts. While there may be women out there with larger chests, those women can’t lay claim to theirs being all-natural like Norma’s!

Here’s a clip of Norma on Jenny Jones strutting her stuff!

Make sure you watch for the part where one man stands up and compliments Jenny Jones on her chest size. I had no idea people even thought of Jenny Jones like that. NASTY.
