When 24-year-old Patricia Clarke fell pregnant in 1983, she had more than just a feeling that her child was going to be on the large side.
She’d already had one baby, and knew that big babies ran in her family. That said, she could never have expected just how huge the child she was carrying would turn out to be.
Patricia gave birth to Kevin Robert Clark, who epically weighed in at more than 16 pounds. At the time, he was not just the biggest baby ever born at Community Memorial Hospital, but perhaps the largest baby in the state of New Jersey.
He couldn’t fit into a standard sized crib, and his baby clothes were too small for him, but Kevin was – much to the relief of his parents – perfectly healthy.
Naturally, it wasn’t long before his size was noticed. He made headlines across the country, not only inspiring a segment on “Saturday Night Live”, but also getting a mention on “Good Morning America”.

But Kevin wasn’t done stealing the spotlight there. According to the New York Post, by the time he was 12 he stood 5 foot 7. By junior high he was 6 foot 5. From there, he just kept continuing to grow.
“There isn’t a day that goes by when someone doesn’t ask me how tall I am,” Kevin told the Post.
“I like to joke that I’m 5-foot-21. When people ask if I play basketball, I ask them if they play miniature golf.”
Today, Tom is 35-years-old. He’s a former military man who lives with is 6-foot tall wife and their Great Dane.
He’s more than learned to live with the fact he’s bigger than virtually everyone else. In fact, he takes it in his massive stride. These days, Tom is 6 feet 9 inches tall.

It can’t be easy to quite literally be born into the limelight, nor to grow up with people pointing at you and asking questions the majority of the time. That said, Kevin seems to be handling it just fine … we wish him all the best moving forward!

Elon Musk’s Robot Kiss: A PR Stunt or a Glimpse into the Future of Technology
Elon Musk, renowned for his pioneering work in electric vehicles and space exploration, has recently made headlines for his interactions with humanoid robots. His social media posts featuring him kissing these robots have left many people puzzled and wondering about the future of human-robot relationships. Some are even speculating about a potential robot wife that Musk has hinted at.
The images, originally taken by artist Pablo Guerrero, have recently gone viral after Twitter user Daniel Marven shared them online. The pictures show Elon Musk engaging in intimate interactions with four different female robots, and their release has coincided with the debut of Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus, taking its first steps. This has only added to the fascination surrounding the situation.
Although the images have caused a stir on social media, it’s crucial to bear in mind that things aren’t always as they seem. The circumstances surrounding these unusual photographs indicate that there may be more to the situation than initially meets the eye. It’s unclear whether these displays of affection are a genuine expression of romantic interest or part of a broader marketing or artistic initiative.
Mr. Marven wrote: ’It is the first robot that has been manufactured specifically designed with artificial intelligence, with the personality and the characteristics of the female that he dreams of…which is not found in any normal person, because of course, there is no normal person that has all the required specifications.”
According to him, ’Catnilla’ is a solar-powered robot that doesn’t require charging and is equipped with sensory capabilities that allow her to experience emotions such as happiness and sadness.
In response to the unique AI-generated portraits of Musk, Twitter users have been swift to offer their reactions, igniting a flurry of comical remarks and conjecture. One individual wittily remarked, “Well, well well… what have we here?”
During Tesla’s recent shareholders’ meeting, CEO Elon Musk shared an awe-inspiring video of the company’s Optimus robots in action, highlighting remarkable advancements made since the prototype’s debut at last year’s Tesla AI Day.
The footage showcases five Optimus robots walking and flexing their capabilities, including item retrieval, task completion, and the utilization of Tesla gadgets. The impressive demonstration serves as a testament to Tesla’s continued commitment to innovation and technological advancement.
As Elon Musk continues to push the envelope with his innovative ideas and technological advancements, the world is left wondering — was the robot kiss a mere publicity stunt or a sign of things to come? Whatever the answer may be, one thing is certain — the future is looking brighter than ever before.
