20 nice pics of André the giant.

[lupi]

Any pics of him passed out in the hotel lobby with a sheet over him so it looks like a sofa.

 

[vi edit]

This guy was over a foot taller than Andre.

But Andres thigh was bigger than that guys waist.

And yes, I really didn't notice how big Hulk was until you put him in perspective to Andre.

He was lucky and had surgery to stop his gigantism

Even though it's cool to see huge ass people, the disease tends to cripple them at an early age.


EDIT: yeah, he probably couldn't drink that much beer...I mean, alcohol affects everyone the same per weight. I believe.

But most impressive to me of all, was his VOICE

 

[Vdubchaos]

Not gay, but wondering about his size.

Take a man of average height and a penis size of average size and extrapolate to the size of Andre the gigant. Or did you mean Robert Wadlow ?

Amazing surgery, that is in the center of his brain. How did they get in there without damaging the rest of his brain ?

But, but, the women always say "size dont matter!"

 

[Sho'Nuff]

Fessic, are there rocks ahead?

Fessic: If there are we'll all be dead!

No more rhyming, and I mean it!

Fessic: "Anybody want a peanut?"

Yeah, they say that to men with a small cock.

"Surgery is the first option recommended for most people with acromegaly, as it is often a rapid and effective treatment. The surgeon reaches the pituitary via an incision through the nose or inside the upper lip and, with special tools, removes the tumor tissue in a procedure called transsphenoidal surgery. This procedure promptly relieves the pressure on the surrounding brain regions and leads to a rapid lowering of GH levels. If the surgery is successful, facial appearance and soft tissue swelling improve within a few days."

Andre was a raging alcoholic though for some of his life, so I think it is possible at the height of it he could consume that much beer before passing out.

Not when you factor in tolerance

Not when you factor in tolerance

your both right. It looks though from the various stories that he really didnt take care of himself when he probably needed to extra careful with his condition. His bulb really did burn brighter and most who met him loved him.
