==== Clarifications ====

Now you may be thinking how ever will this Titan ( http://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:Titan ) use his Gargantuan Warhammer with its weight of 40Lbs and requirement of 100Str? 

Well here is clarification 1; Strength requirement is HALF when wielded with 2 hands. Now the titan only has a strength of 43, 

therefore clarification 2 comes into play; When your strength is insufficient to wield the weapon(puny Wizard) you suffer a -1 to hit and damage for every 2 points your strength is too low, though this only comes into effect when you can lift the weapon. Now the Titan wields this hammer with two hands reducing the Str requirement to 50, He then receives a -3 to hit and damage with his Warhammer. 

Clarification 3(straight from Races of War equipment weapon rules); You may not use a weapon that is a larger than yourself. A Large character can use a Large (or smaller) object as a weapon, but may not use a Huge (or larger) object as a weapon. You may not use an object that is too heavy for you to lift as a light load as a weapon. An object of your own size must be used in two hands. An object of a size smaller than your size may be used in one hand or two hands.  An object that is at least two sizes smaller than  yourself -->!CAN!<-- counts as a Light Weapon. 

Clarification 4; A weapon at least 2 sizes smaller than your character AND is under the Strength requirement to use single handed by 5Str are considered light weapons. That means a Barbarian of level 20 can rage and dual wield great-swords with a base strength of 17 and consider them to be light weapons.
