Matthias Buchinger (June 2, 1674 – January 17, 1740) was born without hands or lower legs, and yet was a world-renowned artist, magician, calligrapher and performer.  He was married four times and had at least 14 children (by eight women). He also is rumored to have had children by as many as 70 mistresses. Buchinger’s fame was so widespread that in the 1780s the term ‘Buckinger’s boot’ existed in England as a euphemism for the vagina (because the only ‘limb’ he had was his penis)
