If he proposed on bended knee, he still would've been as tall as an ordinary person -- Bao Xishun, the world's tallest man at 7-foot-9, got married today with great fanfare. The colorful ceremony was held at the tomb of Kublai Khan, in northern China. His bride, Xia Shujian, is two-thirds his height at 5-foot-6.
BACKSTORY: Bao made headlines in China last year when he used his super-long arms to save two dolphins by pulling plastic out of their stomachs. The dolphins had been nibbling on plastic from the edge of their pool, and attempts to use surgical instruments to remove the plastic failed, Chinese media reported.

German flies giant shoes to world's tallest woman

Updated: 2006-08-29 09:12 A German outsize shoemaker said he will fly to China next week with three pairs of size 57 ladies shoes as a special and much-needed gift for Yao Defen, believed to be the world's tallest woman.
Georg Wessels, who lives in Germany and the Netherlands, said he had spent years trying to track down Yao, who is from a poor farming family in eastern China's Anhui province and 2.36 metres (7.74 ft) tall, according to Chinese doctors.
"I wrote to China to ask her what kind of shoes she would like and in what colour. She answered she didn't care at all what colour they were she would just be so happy to have some proper footwear," Wessels said.
The largest shoes he has made so far were a size 69 for Matthew McGrory, who has the world's biggest feet, according to the Guinness World Records.
Yao, began treatment in June for a brain tumour which is largely responsible for her extraordinary height by stimulating her body to release excessive amounts of growth hormone. [Reuters]

Lol did you find out then was it an urban myth?
I used to read medical books and you come across things by accident anyway .....It said many overly tall people have small dicks. But maybe it just looks small compared to the rest of them. Like I heard a short guy say once I may be short but I got a long one. :rolleyes:

I applaud you for courageously asking the question that many of us have likely
pondered when looking at very tall people. :D
