whoa there...

um... people.com is amazing, and it is almost completely filling the deep hole in my heart that was caused by the end of f-20's subscription to people magazine. if only the crossword puzzle were up online, the hole could be filled...

anyway, reporting on the stories that really matter, we have:

World's Tallest Man Weds Woman Who Reaches His Elbow

the picture is fantastic. i don't know what is going on in this picture, but it's just amazing.


awesome. remind me to say no of a 7'9" man proposes to me. i'm not even 5'6" (though, less than an inch shy)

also: he's 56 and she's 28. there's something disturbing about that...

and for the animal lovers out there, he's made headlines as the save the earth types:

Bao made headlines in December when he used his long arms to pull dangerous scraps of plastic out of the stomachs of two dolphins, saving their lives. The dolphins had gotten sick after munching on the plastic on the edge of their pool at an aquarium in northeast China, and veterinarians were unable to remove the scraps with surgical instruments.

ps. she's sort of a mail order bride. check out the text of the article. sweet.
