This stunt I' ve heard before,in a WC Fields film. He sells an ordinary dog to a guy and by ventriloquism has the dog say "Just for selling me, I'll never speak again as long as i live !". Then in his normal voice, Fields adds "I'm afraid he'll keep his word !", leaving the joe pleading with the dog to talk ! This,however, was a twist on it.
   By
it IS a fact -and I anticipated it - that abnormal growth will kill the victim. A 50% increase in size past normal in ANY animal, will cause its death. Parasites like the Braconid wasp do just that tio caterpillars,causing super-growth. No human has been documented to have grown past 9 ft tall.
