* ''{{Foxtrot}}'': Roger buys a four-foot tall cell phone from "Mobytel" ("I assume the "Moby" is short for mobile"). It turns out to be a crack investment as both the ends are too far away to actually have a conversation.
** Am I misunderstanding the use of the word "crack" as a colloquialism or are you calling an unuseable cell phone a good investment?

* Computer components are going this way. Take graphics cards for example: at first, all graphics cards took up a single expansion slot, and barely extended beyond the socket. Today, dual-slot coolers are the norm (due to the increase in heat put out,) and the highest-end cards can be over ten inches longs, while an ATX motherboard is about 9.5 inches wide. And triple-slot (and [[BeyondTheImpossible beyond]]) coolers are becoming popular.

*** If you've been tinkering with computers for a while, you can see how heatsinks have grown over the years from being completely absent on a 486DX, through a little one 4cm wide on on the 200MHz Pentium MMX, to great big hulking huge 10cm ones, to hulking huge ones with ''heat pipes''...

* Australia seems rather fond of big things as tourism landmarks, such as the Big Banana in Coffs Harbour. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoiwIl-_PYU On Pitch segment]] on ''TheGruenTransfer'' had the winning ad use such big landmarks as cooling towers on nuclear reactors to try and sell nuclear power to Aussies.

** CPU coolers, as well. They can be so large as to not fit in particularly narrow cases.
** Motherboards, too. The crowing example would be EVGA's Classified SR-2, a dual socket monster that uses its own form factor, and can only fit in a handful of cases on the market without major modifications.

* In [[BillAndTedsExcellentAdventure Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey]] Bill and Ted were nervous about the Station twins knowing what they were doing. The twins did a FusionDance, turning into Big Station. Suddenly there were no more worries. Apparently Big Station was more obviously a great scientist than the Station twins?
