 Weirdness In The Corn October 31, 2008
Justin (New Jersey!)
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
Who would have thought that the heartland of America would harbor such a wealth of weirdness? Not me, until I read this book, that is! It's a fascinating look at the oddities of a state that I always assumed was just cornfield, cornfields and more cornfields. Just goes to show how wrong you can be if you judge a book by its cover. This book, like all of the others in this Weird series, is an intelligent, witty and well written survey of the creepy, eccentric and bizarre aspects of Indiana's strange sites, unique history and many unexplained mysteries. Indiana weird? Believe it or not, it really is!
Very Good January 12, 2009

Who knew my home state was so "weird". Peel back the veneer of normalcy and...
YIKES!

This book says the late Sandy Allen was the tallest woman who ever lived. While Sandy certainly was one of the tallest women who ever lived, she was not THE tallest. These authors should have done their homework -- a simple Google task. Here are 3 giantesses taller than Sandy:
1. Zeng Jinlian - Tallest Woman ever at 8' 1.75". Died at age 17 in 1982.
2. Jane Bunford - 7'11", died in 1922.
3. Yao Defen - Claimant as current tallest living female at 7'9" but not confirmed by Guinness World Records.
Sandy probably holds the "tallest" record for the most consecutive years in the Guinness Book, from 1975 to 2009, minus the year Zeng Jinlian had the record.

I like this book because I like to see unusual things that are close to home. Also, the chain saw garden is my exhusband's, so my children think it is cool that this is in a book even though it does not include his name.
