I read an interesting article just now where the world's tallest man saved two dolphins in China by reaching his incredibly long arms--41.7 inches long to be exact--into the bellies of the dolphins. The dolphins had ingested bits of plastic from the edge of their pool at an aquarium, but thanks to the world's tallest man they are said to be A-OK.
Here's what I found most intriguing about the whole situation... The world's tallest man is Asian, a race of people that is generally perceived as being shorter in comparison to other races. Bao Xishun, from Inner Mongolia, is a 54 year old herdsman that stands at an impressive 7'9". Furthermore, the tallest man in the NBA is 7'6" Yao Ming of China.
I absolutely love how life makes you rethink your perceptions.
