Talk:Franco Columbu

message: Hi Yakolev,
I made a mistake when I converted 200 pounds to '907 kg'. You put it to a much closer '90.6 kg'. Thanks. Now I have reconverted using the excellent google converter (simply do a search for '200 pounds') '90.7 kg' is even closer. So I have made the edit. The Mr Olympia rules are actually metric at least in the 2001 version. So perhaps the value should be '90 kg'. What do you think?

I also find a post online that says he was the stunt double for the Sub-Zero guy. Anybody know more? 64.25.200.120 19:34, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The decimal mark notation in this article is inconsistent:  a decimal point is used for his height, but a decimal comma is used for his lifts.   Psalm 119:105 (talk) 20:57, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Gone. It's understandable in an article that might attract Italian editors. While I'm at it, I'm going to round the KG values down. Again, I can understand why weights are given to three decimal places - they've been converted from Imperial measurements - but in this case I doubt that the measurements were *that* precise. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 22:00, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

message: This bizarre, but it's like there's a Mandela Effect operating to pretend that he was never referred to as Franco Columbo, with an O, not a U, as the last letter in his surname. For example, in Big Top Pee-Wee, in his role as Otto the Strongman, he is credited as Franco Columbo, not Columbu. Why is this never mentioned? 2603:9000:8D21:7100:30F9:1D1:ABBE:2286 (talk) 11:03, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

message: When I was living in Los Angeles ~2004 I spoke with someone in his chiropractic office about an appointment. There was a timing issue that prevented me from being seen by Dr. Columbu. I tried to find a confirming reference (relating to his being a chiropractor, not my failure to get an appointment) but haven't been able to come up with anything encyclopedic. Does anyone have a better lead? Thank you. Rainbow-five (talk) 00:43, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  A chiropractor?  

message: According to U.S. records, Columbu became a naturalized American citizen on December 15, 1983. I have been unable to locate any non-primary sources with this information, and even his New York Times obituary makes no mention of it. If anyone can source this fact reliably, please do. 66.209.91.155 (talk) 00:11, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
