The Tower of Tai

March 18th, 2005

Tower of TaiImagine yourself standing straight up, and being tall enough to see over the tops of everyone’s heads. Tall enough so that no doorframe is big enough for you to go through. Where you need a convertible because there is no car with enough head room for you. The tallest man on record is Robert Wadlow who grew to a staggering 8′ 11.1″. This was definitely a really tall man.

However, 8′11″ is nothing when compared to the height that me and my brother can achieve, albeit while one was standing on the other person’s shoulders…(also note how I’m hunched over and not standing straight) :cool: While one can achieve great heights, I tend to prefer to stay at a nice manageable height of 6′2″ (more like 6′1.5″ but hey, what’s a half an inch :razz:) It still would be pretty cool to be around 7 feet tall though. I would definitely need to learn how to play basketball if I were that tall. The next Yao Ming, Lawrence Tai! :grin:
