How many articles do we have on people known only for their deformities? The only one I can think of is Joseph Merrick.
articles on people famious for thier phyical abnormalities include
[[Chang and Eng Bunker]] [[General Tom Thumb]] [[Lavinia Warren]] [[Zip the Pinhead]] [[Myrtle Corbin]] [[Frank Lentini]] [[Jane Barnell]] to a degree [[Sarah Biffen]] [[The Doll Family]] [[Johnny Eck]] [[Elizabeth Green the Stork Woman]]
In some cases --- particularly Sarah Biffen --- these people are famous in their own right. For the rest, although they were indeed famous only for their deformities, they were *so* famous that they're still well-known a hundred years later.
I'll make you a deal. If Brian Peppers is famous in 2090 (and we're all still alive and still contributing), I'll write the damn article myself.
