317.51 Kg.

Karl Neidershuh, a scholarly fatabiliac of long standing and original author of the frequently swiped 900 Club on Dimensions Online, hipped me onto a newish weblog devoted to The World's Heaviest People. Though proprietor Johnny C primarily appears to be more interested in the very very tall and very very short, his Blogspot fat collection contains both classic (e.g., the once-seen/never-forgotten photo of sideshow great Baby Ruth Pontico) and less familiar photos of the super-super-sized. Striving to document every recorded woman and man weighing 700 pounds or higher, the blog's a good primer for budding fat history buffs. Can't help personally wishing that the male pics didn't outnumber the female 'uns, tho . . .
