That's the size! 22 times when the actual dimensions were completely unexpected

Sometimes it's hard for us to imagine how big or small things can be that we don't have to deal with often. And not only that — even something familiar to us and well-known sometimes takes on unexpected proportions. Sometimes a bird may appear to be the size of a pigeon, but its wingspan may be more than human height. This is how the human brain works, attributing habitual qualities to all phenomena.
