What are the top 10 smallest rivers?

Answer 1

10. George Billybob's River: This river was first described in 1902 when George Billybob, a farmer, accidentally forgot to turn his hose off all the way - the river ran for about five meters at about 1 millilitre per minute before it emptied into a nearby puddle.

9. The glacial outflow of Steve Wang's kitchen counter: This well-known river is widely regarded as the holy grail of scientific river study; having only existed for five minutes while an ice cube melted on Steve Wang's kitchen counter, it allowed scientists fascinating insights into how rivers were formed.

8. The great trickle of Hamburg Street, Alabama: This trickle was first observed in 1972 by students at the university of Alabama. At just half a millimeter in diameter, it is one of the thinnest rivers, but is quite long; twelve meters in total. It originates from a very small leak in a nearby tap. It flows into a sewer grate.

7. The leaky ceiling of Le Blanc high school river: This wide river is one of the world's slowest flowing. It flows from a small puddle surrounding a pan in one of the classrooms at Le Blanc high school. Spanning all of two meters, it fills a small indent surrounding one of the lab benches.

6. The pee trickle of Luke Denver: This toxic flow once flowed through part of someone's bathroom after Luke Denver dispensed a few millilitres of urine on the floor.

5. The condensed water on a pop can river: Back in 2007, someone left their can of pop in the fridge, then took it out. Moisture in the air quickly condensed, creating a small puddle around the can. The water flowed over the edge of their counter, creating a majestic waterfall.

4. The other condensed water on a pop can river: This is the river that flowed after the aforementioned majestic waterfall. It flowed into the mouth of a passing canine.

3. The sneeze of Trisha Pemburton: This is one of the world's most contaminated rivers. It is the result of a puddle of water being propelled forward after Trisha Pemburton of the UK sneezed on it. It is known to contain traces of E. Coli, Rhinovirus, Norovirus, and not to mention mucus.

2. The world's smallest eyedropper river: In 2006, scientists at Harvard University set out to create the world's smallest eyedropper. Unfortunately, due to a slight lab mishap, a small part of the eyedropper's payload was dispensed on the floor, creating the world's smallest eyedropper river. The river was virtually unknown until Biology students found traces of the river when swabbing the floor for bacteria.

1. The large Hadron Collider river: During a test on hydrogen molecules at the CERN supercollider, two hydrogen molecules condensed to create a very dense H2 molecule. The two-molecule river flowed for about two nanoseconds until it filled what also happens to be the world's smallest lake, which is located in between two copper ions in a pipe.
