I am a heavy fellow, not that tall but broad like a rock dragging peasant;
my first wife was from Pennsylvania. I can testify to those who think that
Jim is searching out the freaks that PA has the largest human beings in
America. They're huge. It was one of the few places on earth I could walk
around and not feel at all fat.

Indeed after 9/11 I worked a couple of overnights in St. Paul's Chapel
downtown which was operating as a 24-hour multi-serviced comfort station /
food hall for the steel workers, cops and firemen working at the site. The
steel workers would come in and were staggering in size -- many under 5'10"
but enormous and hard as rocks. Like 5'9 and 54 inch chest was not unusual.
There were stacks and stacks of clothes sent in from around the country --
sweats, tee shirts, boxers, etc -- in the normal size ranges and no one
could wear them. Even XXL was puny.

I began to ask. Many were from Pennsylvania, as I suspected.

Anyway great shot. That hand is from the Addams Family.
