Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you (Woo, woo, woo)
What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away (Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

http://cellar.org/2016/DiMaggio.jpg

During WW II while Joe was in the army, his parents were "enemy aliens".
Quote:

Giuseppe and Rosalia DiMaggio were among the thousands of German, Japanese and Italian immigrants classified as "enemy aliens" by the government after Pearl Harbor was bombed by Japan. They carried photo ID booklets at all times, and were not allowed to travel outside a five-mile radius from their home without a permit. Giuseppe was barred from the San Francisco Bay, where he had fished for decades, and his boat was seized. Rosalia became an American citizen in 1944, followed by Giuseppe in 1945.

All the tree fruits and all the berries.

Freestone Plums grown specifically for prunes, is growing Prunes.
Clingstone Plums grown for eating as fresh fruit, is growing Plums.

By that logic, they grow beer up there too

And raisins.

xoxoxoBruce 04-11-2016 05:24 PM

Nope, because the grapes could be used for other purposes when they're harvested, like wine or jelly, or just eating.

Mr Anderson, to you...

glatt 04-28-2016 08:14 AM

I was blown away until I saw the spokes.

I mean sure, he can lift more than me, but most of that wheel is hollow.

glatt 04-28-2016 08:18 AM

Oh, and according to Wikipedia:

Quote:

Lift included in the Guinness Book of World Records This record has been expunged due to no official witness being present, and no evidence of the weight's measurement. (Source: "Guinness Book of World Records".)

Backlift: 6,270 lb (2,840 kg) (weight raised slightly off trestles; done June 12, 1957, in Toccoa, Georgia)[1]
emphasis mine

Carruthers 04-28-2016 10:03 AM

These days he'd have negotiated a lucrative sponsorship deal with a leading hernia clinic.

xoxoxoBruce 04-28-2016 10:06 AM

Sure, to go in the Guinness book they have to have somebody there to check. That doesn't mean it didn't happen. It's quit possible as Anderson was generally recognized as the strongest man in the world for a whole lot of feats, like Olympic gold and a couple national championships, not just for this stunt. I'm sure there are some farm boys who could do this, but never receive recognition beyond local lore and bar bets, I've met a couple.

glatt 04-28-2016 12:20 PM

6,270 lbs is a really big number and difficult to believe.

I don't know much about weightlifting records. If you Google the subject, you can find articles that tear his claim apart. He apparently did the lift in his backyard by piling junk on a table he built, and then lifting the table. And then weighing the junk. Maybe he made an addition mistake. That article mentions a safe that weighed 1,200 lbs less than he claimed it did. He claimed three people were witnesses, but at least one of those witnesses said they were not there that day but just heard about it later.

He was a strong man. There are plenty of official records out there of lifts he did, and he was an olympian. Nothing to be ashamed of.

But 6,270 lbs? That's 3 cars at once. No way.

The weight of a car depends on the type of car, how it's made, and the combined weight of included features. It differs from car to car.

glatt 04-28-2016 09:21 PM

Yes. But even small cars are around 2,500 lbs. A mid size car is more like 3,000

Most people do, but that letter only works from the top down. If you're at the bottom, or even the middle of an organization, that letter would tag you as not being a team player, trouble maker, and kill your career.
