I am glad you all liked this little foray into pituitary endocrinology.

Do you want me to extend my quest and start arguing that tiny Katars and small Tulwar handles were specially made for the warriors with GH deficiency ( pituitary dwarfs)? Na-ah:-)

Is there no way of stopping or neutralising the GH or even destroying some of the pituitary and/or any associated tumors? Focused neutron bombardment?

27kg would be heavy even for the biggest giant. A large two handed sword from the era weighs in at considerably less. It would be a death sentence for the dielder if actually used as it would be horribly slow. The myth of huge two handed swords being really heavy has been debunked already. 2.7kg +/- a bit maybe...
