I had a wee plate with the Giant's image on.  Used to use it to serve olives.  It got put away when the progeny arrived.

There's a nice article about the giant in the online edition of the New Yorker, which gives a lot more background to his existence and how the locals relate to him these days.

I put that down to inbreeding. Archaeologists tend to meet other archaeologists, thus the perennial joke about archaeologists wives, 'oh, so where did you dig her up?'

I think a centrefold would hold more suspense.
