	Biography for André the Giant
		Andre's most bitter feud began in 1983, against Big John Studd (who claimed he, not Andre was the true "giant" of wrestling).
		Washington Redskins head coach George Allen once offered Andre the Giant a contract to play professional football.
		Andre's 1988 match vs. Hulk Hogan for the WWF World Championship, which he won in controversial fashion, was the 1988 Pro Wrestling Illustrated "Match of the Year." The match, which took place in Indianapolis, was part of the first professional wrestling program to air in prime-time since the mid-1950s.

	Polaris Institute - "Emergent Water Cartel" from Blue Gold: The Battle Against Corporate Theft of the World's Water
		By building a series of large dams, water from the Yukon, Peace, and Liard rivers would be trapped in the Rocky Mountain trench, a giant reservoir about eight hundred kilometers (about five hundred miles) long, flooding approximately one-tenth of British Columbia.
		Here, a number of grand canal schemes have been devised to reroute natural river systems in order to deliver huge supplies of water from Canada to the U.S. One of the more prominent of these proposed schemes was literally named the GRAND Canal — the Great Recycling and Northern Development Canal.
		Although numerous canal schemes for bulk water transfers are being planned and developed all over the world, nowhere have the canal dreams been as grandiose as in North America.

	Shrek (2001)
		Loosely based upon a story by children’s author William Steig (Sylvester and the Magic Pebble), Shrek is a satiric, updated fairy-tale love story, sort of like The Princess Bride, if André the Giant had been the hero, and had worn Lou Ferrigno body paint.
		As Shrek heads off to rescue the princess, we sense that we’re in Beauty and the Beast territory — and so we are (and Swan Princess territory, and Little Mermaid territory); but there’s a sly twist on Beauty and the Beast that manages to be both satirical and sincere at the same time.
		Shrek and his storybook fellows may be the most convincing pixel-generated characters ever, better-looking even the characters of the title species in Disney& Dinosaur, maybe even better than Boss Nass and Jar-Jar Binks from Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace.

		The Ilya Muromets is the largest, heavyest and farst flying bombing-plane in the world; more than seventy bombers are built.
		His interest for helicopters is excited by Leonardo da Vinci, and when he and his father spend their holiday's in Austria, Igor for the first sees the moving pictures of the first successful flight of the Wright brothers, in 1903.

	Sunday Business (London, England) : Home of Michelin man. @ HighBeam Research
		Today, Michelins presence in the city has evolved into its giant headquarters, research and production complex on the edge of the centre.
		For one, it is the birthplace of mathematician, philosopher and physicist Blaise Pascal, born in 1623, who is credited with inventing the first modern calculating machine and said to have been the last man on Earth to have had knowledge of every discipline.
		And Clermont-Ferrand is also synonymous with the Michelin brothers, Andr and Edouard, who set up the world-famous rubber company there in 1889.

	New Scientist Article on Microwave Chemistry
		Here in Edinburgh, my colleagues and I are hoping to harness the same microwave effect to make high temperature superconducting materials, or materials which have the property known as giant magnetoresistance, which could be useful in building read-write heads for disc drives or in magnetic switches.
		Microwaves are revolutionising the way we do our chemical cookery, even though precisely how they work is sometimes something of a mystery.
		Microwaves are helping Hamelin to tackle this problem by building on an approach developed by André Loupy of the University of Paris-Sud.

	Atomium, Brussels, Belgium - lastminute.com
		The Atomium, a giant model of the atomic lattice of iron crystals (magnified 165 million times), was built for the 1958 World Fair by engineer Andr& in celebration of scientific progress, and is a distinctive and quirky landmark in Brussels.
		Kids will love approaching the Atomium, then going up to the highest sphere in one of the fastest lifts in Europe, which offers a panoramic view of the entire region (weather willing).
		It was meant to be a temporary affair, but the Bruxellois grew too fond of this shiny, metal, 102-metre high structure, consisting of nine orbs linked by tubes, to pull it down.

		Threat of a lawsuit from the WWF spurned Fairey to stop using the name Andr� the Giant and create a more iconic image of the wrestler's face.
		In addition to small stickers, Obey Giant has been spread by stencil and large paste-up paper.

	The Stranger Seattle Film Film Shorts Film Shorts
		At a time when the bulk of adrenaline cinema seems divvied up between high-stakes Michael Bay mega-orgasms or Sci-Fi channel exclusives starring Lou Diamond Phillips and giant CGI snakes, the lean, stripped-down pleasures of an honest-to-goodness B-picture are sorely needed.
		That, plus the scene where Bijou Phillips gets menaced by a sandblaster, may well be enough for those in search of air conditioning.
		Whatever his faults, director John Singleton has always had a touch with actors, and here he draws relaxed performances from André 3000 and especially Chiwetel Ejiofor, as a cartoonishly evil mastermind who occasionally forces his henchmen to eat off of the floor.
