The Resume

    (March 19, 1905-January 11, 2010)
    Born in Brooklyn, New York
    Stood 5'5, weighed between 125 and 150 pounds
    Boxed under the name 'Kid Dundee'
    Lifted 635 pounds with one finger, 475 pounds with his teeth
    Worked as a longshoreman after retiring from performing
    Died after being hit by a minivan during his morning walk
    Called 'Last of the Coney Island Strongmen'

Why he might be annoying:

    He was a vegetarian.
    He billed himself as 'The World's Strongest Man.' (Sure, it was accurate, but it's still egotistical.)
    He had a part in the film 'On the Waterfront' that ended up on the cutting room floor.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He earned a silver star, a bronze star and three purple hearts in World War II.
    He never touched steroids, tobacco or alcohol.
    Even after hitting 100, he could bend a quarter in two with his fingers or his teeth.
    A journalist who interviewed him at his 103rd birthday celebration noted, 'If he told me he was 75, I would have said he looked great for his age.'
