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.....'
"Me and some others in primary school were saying the biggest numbers we knew of. Everybody was saying like 100 thousand and a million and then I’m like “a trillion”. And they refused to believe it was a real number."
