When the 'Superman' movie came out back in 1978, an interview with actor Christopher Reeve contained a typo.
It stated that he had 27-inch biceps. (They were 17-inch.)
The magazine published the correction the following week.
A gym-buddy of mine would not let it go.
From that point onward (and for years afterwards) he'd derisively refer to Christopher Reeve as 'Mr. 27-inch biceps.'
When CR passed away in 2004 I can imagine my buddy saying 'Gee. How did they fit him in his coffin......with his 27-inch biceps.....'
