I saw a news blurb from National Geographic (No link) that said a recent expedition showed the Congo to be the deepest river in the world.
Just Googled deepest river and it showed the Yangtze as the deepest.
If true that the Congo is deeper-It is neat that such facts remain to be discovered in this day and age.

Re: Yangtze vs Congo
This only serves to remind me of an old joke about two guys (one of whom was from Pittsburgh, the other from Philadelphia, the way I heard it told) urinating from the middle of a very tall bridge....
There is something wrong in a government where they who do the most have the least. There is something wrong when honesty wears a rag, and rascality a robe; when the loving, the tender, eat a crust while the infamous sit at banquets.

Mentioned here in the third paragraph:
The river was also found to be possibly the world's deepest, and its extraordinary changes in depths and currents help explain why it's such a hotbed of fish diversity.
