At a whopping 7.5 inches long, Thomas Wadhouse's nose was the largest ever recorded — but little else is known about his mysterious life. He was born around 1730 in Yorkshire, England, and some reports indicate that his parents may have been siblings and that it was this ill-advised genetic mixing that led to Wadhouse's prodigious nose. Wadhouse also had a reputation for low intelligence, and one source said that "either his chin was too weak or his brow too low, or Nature had so exhausted herself in the task of giving this prodigy a nose as to altogether forget to endow him with brains." And though he was born a century before so-called "freak shows" really took off, Wadhouse and his massive nose became a well-known attraction at circuses across England during the mid-1700s.
