You're kidding, right?
Wasn’t Andre the Giant one of his most famous descendents?
The Cardiff Giant was one of the most famous hoaxes in United States history. It was a 10-foot (3.0 m) tall purported "petrified man" uncovered on October 16, 1869, by workers digging a well behind the barn of William C. "Stub" Newell in Cardiff, New York. Both it and an unauthorized copy made by P.T. Barnum are still on display.
"Most famous hoax" until Global Warming came along, that is. The Cardiff Giant made a lot of money for P.T. Barnum, but GW has made BILLIONS for many more people.
