   On the basis that STW usually beats google can I ask you lot to provide me with a suitable line I can use?
   Looking for something slightly contradictory along the lines of 'World's biggest shrimp' 'World's tallest pygmy' or 'Fastest tortoise in Britain' you get the idea.

   Thanks all.

   Tried a quick search for such and get the usual 'Militery intelligence' type which isn't really what I'm after I'm afraid.

   [EDIT] Cheers Headfirst/RM, something like that!

   I'm seriously confused as to what you want. World's biggest shrimp, tallest pygmy and fastest tortoise anre not contradictions. You're using the superlative not adjective so it is entirely possible to be the world's biggest shrimp, tallest pygmy etc. Military or business intelligence are pushing it a bit though.
   This is a serious question and not pedantry...

    .....can I ask you lot to provide me with a suitable line I can use?

    I don't understand the question. You want a suitable line to use where ? in what context ?

    Amplebrew has the idea, cheers. Honest politican is the best so far.
    .
    What I should probably have said is something along the lines of 'a description of something which goes against what that something is usually known for', like the bat with best eyesight, or highest hill in Lincolnshire, that kind of thing.
    .
    It's to go on a website I'm designing, trying to say "x is the best y in area z, but that is a bit like being the [insert quote here]"
