Dalip Singh Rana a/k/a The Great Khali, professional wrestler, actor, former police officer, 2.16 m (7 ft 1 in).
William R. Golden, a certified public accountant from Roswell, New Mexico was one of the first people treated with massive doses of the psychotropic drug Bromocriptine (parlodel) in the 1980s. Golden volunteered to be treated with the drug which was, at the time, only approved for people in the later stages of Parkinson's disease. Complications including nausea, hallucinations and changes to photo receptors indicated use of the drug at lower levels. Post remission complications included amnesia, confusion, depression, a weakened immune system and rapid-onset (Type II) insulin-dependent diabetes. However, the overall success of his treatment led to extensive use of the drug to this day. 2 m (6 ft 7 in)
Rondo Hatton, character horror actor in the 1930s and 1940s[10]
Richard Kiel, actor; "Jaws" from two James Bond movies and Mr. Larson in Happy Gilmore.[11] He grew up to 7 ft 1œ in, but was slightly under 7 ft in his later years due to age and injury.

Some time after 1858 signs of the growth hormone-producing tumor disappeared along with all the secondary effects the tumor had caused in him. He looked normal in his 90's.[15] His remarkable recovery is likely an example of spontaneous selective pituitary tumor apoplexy.[16]

Another possibility is that using a sports analogy, the freelance journalist is seen as a "second string" whereas the staff journalist positions are more of the "first string". This in turn comes from music, where the first string is the premiere violin in the orchestra, the second string is the next most talented player and so on.

In The Guns of Navarone, a German soldier gingerly removes a rat from a huge cannon. It emits smoke and a distinct squeaky noise, and the soldier breathes a sigh of relief.
