In another part of the world during the 17th century, Ibrahim I, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire was indulging his own passion: Large women. He once sent his servants out to find the largest woman possible. They returned with a 330-pound femme fetale whom Ibrahim dubbed “Sheker Pare” (piece of sugar). She was given a government pension and was installed as Governor General of Damascus. The sultan was unceremoniously strangled to death during a coup in 1648.
