A buddy I used to work with told me of Angus MacAskill, and that at The Citadel in Halifax there is a statue of him.

Have you seen this?

Huh, what's up with the italics?

You mean this one? Been there saw that. He could hold 1 1/2 pounds of loose tea leaves in one hand. Think about what that would be like to get hit with.

I'd never heard of him, but my friend Mr. Google certainly has!

Angus MacAskill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reminds me of Andre the Giant's character Fezzik in "The Princess Bride".

Thanks Pat. I was looking for that page today but I had to go to work. My DSL was acting a little funky this morning and was dropping out.

...but I had to go to work.

Work....work....I seem to remember that word, but from WHERE??...

J/K QRN. I start Monday with the teaching again! I'll find out my schedule on Friday.

Funny, Pat is also the name of the guy who told me.

His mom married a guy I used to work for. They are from Nova Scotia.

The 1981 Guinness Book of World Records lists Angus as the tallest natural giant who ever lived, the strongest man who ever lived, and the man having the largest chest measurements of any non-obese man (80 inches).

This is where I originally heard of him.

80 inch chest!!!

Work,yeah that's a dirty four letter word isn't it? I went back to work today.I took yesterday off to deal with some "things". Feeling better today however. Not sure if I want to be like you Pat and continue to go to school after I retire however.

Any idea where in Nova Scotia they are from?

No idea, it's been 20 years ago.

I knew he said went to the Citadel and saw the statue, but can't remember if he lived in Halifax or not.
