Talk:Garry Hoy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I would so love to expand on this, but it's so hard to find information on him. --Sniper joe 23:41, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Birth and Age

I've noticed that while this article says Hoy was 39 years old at the time of the stunt, the snopes.com article linked to by this article says he was 38 years old. I did a google search and found that the web is very divided on this topic.

[edit] 38

  • Snopes.com
  • dano.diaryland.com
  • ABC News

[edit] 39

  • Wikipedia
  • Darwin Awards
  • Answers.com
  • Tens and tens of websites that copy-pasted from each other, since they all have the same wording.


Snopes.com is supposed to be credible, so they are pretty much all the weight on the "38" side of the argument. However, "39" looks like a better choice. Still, it would be good to know for sure.--Methegreat 00:27, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
