And what a day tomorrow will be! If you've seen the Google doodle, you know that the first crossword was published a 100 years ago tomorrow. I can just imagine NY Times crossword editor Will Shortz popping open a bottle of champagne and puzzling to his heart's content tonight. And I've done a crossword fun fact before, but today, because of tomorrow, I'll give you another one.
Fun fact: The world's largest crossword puzzle has over 91,000 squares and over 24,000 clues.

You can actually buy that shit. On the interwebs. Or in stores. In fact, I filed in one clue on a copy of the world's largest crossword puzzle that a store had on display. So yeah, I am pretty cool. Thank you for thinking that, dear reader. So few people do.
So that puzzle, measures about 49 square feet. But there is another big-ass crossword puzzle in the Ukraine.

So if you are looking for a way to kill some time, I recommend either one of these. Sure, the building one has fewer squares, but it's also in Cyrillic. So it would take you a good chunk of time, I imagine. Good luck!
