I can actually top that story. A friend of mine has
the most incredible good luck/bad luck I've ever seen.
One of his "good luck" times was when he was visiting
a friend of his who works in the Tower of London. (I
think it was the Tower)As he was talking with a couple
of the curators, one looked him up and down, asked a
couple of questions about his height, weight, etc..
and then asked him if he could help them with an
experiment. Puzzled, my friend agreed. They had him
change into a white body suit and then proceeded to
attach armor to him. Evidently, he is the exact height,
weight and size of the Emperor Maximillion and they had
never had the chance to see how the armor went on a living
body. So my friend got to wear THE Maximillion Plate.
I wouldn't have believed it but he showed me pictures
of him in it with the curators.

Wow.
