A giant die.

Back in 2017, locals of Coeur d’Alene in Idaho were a little puzzled to see a six-by-six-foot rusty metal die to wash up on their shores.One side of the metal cube had pipes coming out of it and, despite its extensive rust, the white spots were immaculate.

Upon closer inspection, it seemed that somebody had put large white spots on an otherwise unremarkable service box.

Coeur d’Alene resident Sam Gridley confirmed this, who had seen the old storage tank washed up a few years back before someone had put the white spots on it.

After this, some particularly bad rainfall and flooding were enough to sweep the giant die back out into the waves to wash up again later.

The massive size of Andre the Giant was always part of the appeal of his character, as it helped him stand out as an attraction since starting his wrestling career in the 1960s. Nicknamed "The Eighth Wonder of the World," Andre the Giant lit the wrestling world on fire, along with the likes of Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage, as he contributed to mainstream success during the Rock n' Wrestling Era in the 1980s. A former Champion and even got involved in the main event of III, where he challenged Hulk Hogan for the Championship, he established himself as one of the all-time greats in the eyes of many fans and critics alike.
