What it doesn't mention is the photo features 6 midgets.

Quick bit of Googling. Sampson was only marginally taller than the horse in this video, which was the tallest living horse at the time of filming.

So Sampson was nothing like as big as that photo would suggest.

[consultsBlib'sbigbookofbans] Well, at last count there were 527 different ways. I think I've ticked off at least 150 of them, but I've a long way to go...

I wouldn't worry too much. It's not like he's made any of the reasons stick.

$3,000,000 was a lot of money back in '55.

Inflation adjusted, I wonder what today's value would be??

Off the top of my head, $3m 1955 dollars would be worth roughly $35,156,977.61.

Give or take.
