Facts
The world’s largest dump truck is the Atlas 31, appropriately named as it’s the only dump truck capable of carrying the entire Earth on its back.  Only two were ever made and they had to be completed and loaded at exactly the same time, as one is always holding up the other due to its presence on Earth. While primal religions and early scientists debated as to what held up the Earth, be it a giant turtle or some gravitational attraction to the sun, the Atlas 31 finally put these debates to rest as humankind stepped in to carry the globe with its own mechanical devices.
