We
Hold My Size To Be Self-Evident
a factoid by D.J. Kirkbride
Thomas
Jefferson, our nation’s second president (unless
you’re not from the US of A, then he’s the
US of A’s second president (unless you count John
Adams, then he’s the US of A’s third president)),
suffered from GIGANTORISM. He was, in fact, the world’s
largest man in his day, topping out at 12’11”
tall with a whopping 45 US shoe size. Other than politics,
his only job option in those days of yore would have been
as a sideshow freak in some crude traveling circus as
basketball would not be invented for another 150 years
when Kareem Abdul Jabbar sailed to the US of A from Africa
on the Mayflower.
