It was brought to my attention that instead of saying "London Eye" in reference to the largest Ferris Wheel in the world, I used Big Ben...the last time I checked, Big Ben was a clocktower!...I'm officially not allowed to post blogs without proof-reading two times anymore! :-) Since I'm on that subject, has anyone figured out of London Eye is indeed the largest or if it is the one that I rode in Yokohama.

here is your answer:
The London Eye (Millennium Wheel) at a height of 135 metres (443 ft) [1], is the biggest Ferris wheel in Europe, and has become the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom, visited by over 3 million people a year.
Well I'll let your mistake pass, just this once though...
Since you asked so nicely, and I was already on line checking football scores, I looked up the worlds largest Ferris wheels on good ol' Wikipedia and found out that the largest is in Singapore. Its called the "Singapore Flyer". It stands at a height of 541ft, 98ft higher than the "London Eye". The "Cosmo Clock 21" in Yokohama was the worlds biggest when it was built in 1989.
Oh and in case you wanted to know, The New York Football Giants won again today! Beating Arizona. We're 10-1!!!
Go Giants!
