Am I the only one thinking of Robert Wadlow?

no, you're not the only one, except I couldn't remember his name, so I was thinking of "____ _____" instead.

Tall people really are kinda freaky. You want to be polite and not make a big deal about it, but sometimes it's hard. I was in a sandwich shop once and there was a really tall guy working the cash register. He looked close to seven foot tall. Anyway, when someone gives you your change back, you kind of expect them to lean over the counter a bit to reach you. But this guy just stood there straight and sent his arm across like it was some construction crane coming at me. I almost jumped back.

Along with the good hearted save the animals thingie I bet the dude is well endowed as well. Anyway what woman would be looking at his face?

....leans back in chair and tries to come up with a recipe for pool plastic since the fish will survive......

Probably the only guy on earth, not impressed by the whale penis.

That guy has a nice enough smile, but my word, look at the shnoz on him (middle pic). Wow.

The trainer in the dry suit is awfully cute, though.

The poor guy cannot stand well, it seems. When you are growing and making too much growth hormone, you become a giant like Xi Shun. If the hormone imbalance continues after you stop growing, you get something called acromegaly, and his features look kinda distorted to me. I bet he's got it. That's what gave Abe Lincoln his "shovel hands" and huge chin.

This whole story brought back a memory. My uncle (he now about 82) told me how when he was about 5 and growing up on the farm, his dad came to him in the night and told him he was needed to save one of the cows. She was calving and the calf got stuck. He said he had to stick his arm up in her as far as he could and turn the calf's head. When he did it, the calf came slithering out.

He told me how he raised that calf up to be a big cow and took special care of it. Then one day it was gone. Grandpa decided it was just right for market.

I just about lost it!
