The world's biggest rubber band ball is leaving the home of its creator to be displayed in a museum in Florida. Guinness Book declared it is worlds biggest rubber band ball.
Joel Waul spent lot of time, the last six years carefully wrapping, linking and stretching rubber bands into the ball shape.
At 400lbs (181kg), it once rolled over his hand and sprained it - on another occasion it went over his big toe.
The Guinness Book of World Records declared it the world's largest rubber band ball in 2008.
"It's the world's largest and the world record is going to be hard to break," Mr Waul said, adding he was glad that it was going to be on display for thousands to appreciate.
A team from Ripley's Believe It or Not museum came to the house with a crane and hauled away the seven foot high (2.1 metres), 1,000lb (453kg) ball.
