Talk:Eddie Carmel

ÒÉAcromegaly isn't cancer of the pituitary gland. Pituitary tumours can cause acromegaly, but acromegaly is just a disorder where the extremities continue to grow. A lot of things can cause it. thefamouseccles 00:16, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Carmel was probably closer to 7 ft 9 instead of 8 ft 9. According to my calculations of his photographs. Whatever his real height, he was an awsome figure.

This article needs a photograph.

"A well known person"? --jpgordon&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710; 03:35, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Good point. I've changed it to "entertainer" since he was an actor and also worked in carnival sideshows. -kotra (talk) 04:36, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

I would like to add that Eddie, in addition to working in carnival sideshows(?), more importantly, he was The Giant in The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus for many years but I don't have a citation or reference for this but I know it because I knew him when I was a teenager- I lived around the corner from him in his Harrison Ave apartment in the same Bronx neighborhood. We would see RB & BB Circus staff picking him up in a truck.Dcrasno (talk) 23:19, 15 April 2009 (UTC) staff
 * Yeah -- in fact, he was listed at one point in the Guinness Book of World Records as an example of how circuses etc. exaggerate the height of their giants. I wish I had a cite for that too; I certainly had the book at one point. --jpgordon&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710; 04:50, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Other wp
Not sure why this does not show up under the other wp languages list.

Can someone maybe fix that? Thanks. https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%A2%D7%95%D7%93%D7%93_%D7%9B%D7%A8%D7%9E%D7%9C%D7%99

 * That's not the same person. Eddie's Hebrew name is עודד הכרמלי while that article is about עודד כרמלי (a poet born in 1985.) --jpgordon&#x1d122;&#x1d106; &#x1D110;&#x1d107; 13:50, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
