Apropos, but not directly pertinent information: male Gorillas range in weight from around 200-400lbs. The Wikipedia entry on Gorillas says they've reached around 600lbs but those were very obese Gorillas in captivity. I certainly understand the idiom, but it's probably useful to remember it in context. You never know when you may need to know the approximate weight of a gorilla, and relying on a faulty idiom may just bring you into harm's way :>
