The big cheese! A cheese weighing 17 tons was exhibited by the state of Wisconsin at the 1964 World's Fair in New York- it was later eaten. John Wesley, co-founder of the Methodist church, wrote a book in 1747 on practical medicine and advised that eating only apples for a month would cure madness. Agra Schwarzeneggeri is a beetle so named because it appears to have biceps like a bodybuilder.

Nah—in Wesley’s day, the Church of England needed a good kick in the pants. Check out Mr. Collins in “Pride and Prejudice” for a good example of the kind of “Christianity” the Wesley brothers were fighting against.
I remember that cheese; it filled the entire semitrailer of a custom-built refrigerated glass 18-wheeler.
