Tallest Man Gets Married
Bao Xishun, who, at 7′ 9″is the world’s tallest living man, got hitched Thursday to a woman who is not only almost half as tall, but half his age as well.
Bao Xishun, 56, and Xia Shujian, 28, wed in Beijing in a traditional Mongolian ceremony at the tomb of Kublai Khan, the Associated Press reports.
Before they met last year, the groom, who is a herdsman from Inner Mongolia, had been sending out advertisements around the world looking for a bride – but he didn’t have to look far. His bride, it turns out, is a saleswoman from his hometown of Chifeng. [Source]
My guess is they’ll have kids of normal height. Law of averages, you know. He’s 7″9, she’s barely five feet, so I guess that would come to five-foot something kids. Just kidding.
