Well, I guess you've probably noticed that this blog has lost any kind of intelligible direction or format.  But these famous fat twins just sort of popped into my head, so I figured I'd google 'em and post em.

I remember we used to have a book fair every year in elementary school, and the Guinness Book of World's Records was always the most favorite book for kids to buy.  I was quite infatuated with it too, and used to marvel at all of the freakish extremes of humanity, like these happy fellows here.

In fact, as I recall, you could pretty much reduce the Guinness Book down to its first twenty or thirty pages which had: the fattest man, shortest man, oldest man, most deformed man, etc.  After that, the Book sort of dropped off into these kind of dull records like: longest suspension bridge, most number of peanuts eaten, longest number of hours jumpring roap etc.  The Guinness Book knew that these records were dull too, because they filled up the middle of the book and rarely had accompanying photos.

Oh, and case you didn't already know, The Guinness Book originates from the same people that brought you Guinness beer.  It was used as an authoritative source when drunken Irishmen would get into an argument in their local bar over things like, ...who the fattest twins in the world were.
