While we have a guy by the name of `Sir` John Holms making noise in Sri Lanka, it is interesting to find out about the `Real` John Holms. Hope LNP guys get a break from war and enjoy knowing about a legend that humanity had ever produced.

John Curtis Holmes (August 8, 1944 March 13, 1988) better known as John C. Holmes or Johnny Wadd (after the lead character in a series of related films), was one of the most famous male adult film stars of all time, appearing in about 2,500 adult loops, stag films, and porno feature movies in the 1970s and 1980s, including at least one gay feature film and a handful of gay loops. He was best known for his exceptionally large penis, which was heavily promoted as being the longest in the porn industry however, its exact dimensions are unknown. It was detailed, by Holmes himself, in an interview in `Screw` magazine to be 16.5 inches (41.66 centimeters). Holmes also attracted notoriety for his involvement in the Wonderland murders in 1981, and for his death from complications caused by AIDS.

Holmes was the subject of a long article in Rolling Stone magazine in 1989 and a feature length documentary, and the inspiration for two Hollywood movies (Boogie Nights and Wonderland). A definitive biography, John Holmes: A Life Measured in Inches, was released on August 8, 2008.
