- Rockout, on 10/12/2007, -6/+105I would have helped, but I was busy tickling a midget in a tree.
Too obscure? - shirosamurai, on 10/12/2007, -4/+63The dude saved dolphins. Give him a break.
- Asianwaste, on 10/12/2007, -9/+64It's pretty ironic that the world's tallest man is Asian.
- Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -6/+48Wow.......he's just like a really lame superhero
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+38The expression looks to me like one of concentration and focus.
- diktator279, on 10/12/2007, -4/+34Tee-Hee
- mazza558, on 10/12/2007, -5/+29Why didn't they just get the world's longest-armed man?
- billblaskey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23@dugdig
Uh, dude, Chinamen is not the preferred nomenclature. - wild, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23Thats called thinking outside the box.
- cameron074, on 10/12/2007, -4/+22nope, i got it.
thats actually the first thing that came to mind - aaronmcdonald, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Why didnt they get the smallest man in the world to climb inside the dolphin instead?
- billflu, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19This is so random, how could I not digg it?
- noonzie, on 10/12/2007, -8/+23Apparently there was only disgust the use of a ")" in the link on your post.
- bquigly, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16Maybe we can bring him to the U.S. to help Bush pull his head out of his butt.
- aplusbi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Come on, if you had a choice between "conventional" methods of removing the plastic or calling on the worlds tallest man, which would you choose?
- ZeroMP, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13HE IS A TALL!!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/spl/hi/pop_ups/06/asia_pac_enl_1166089542/img/1.jpg - pbaehr, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16Wow, he's like a super-hero. "This sounds like a job for The Tall Man!"
But seriously, there wasn't a way to extract the plastic without calling on the world's tallest man? Good to know he's available to save the day when the need arises. I wonder if he'd like to paint my ceilings. - Feanor, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Ah China, where a herdsman can be called out of his field to help the government save a couple dolphins.
- br0ck, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11The world's tallest woman is also Chinese (sorry for the Sun link - best I could find with a pic) - http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2006120409,00.html
- Rockout, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Yeah well, I'm kinda new around these parts...
Here's the video for that reference:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ax3knh-fgy8 - szembek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Cappez: As an average that is a very significant difference.
- SpenceMasta, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9wtf china is the land of giants, i was walking around some shopping center and i saw the tallest man in my life, i was about up to his chest and im 5'10, the funny thing was he was with his girlfriend or wife and she looked about 5 foot 1 or 2, i dont think it was this guy since the guy i saw looked young, mid 30s
- solarbeat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8From another article:
"Chen Lujun, the manager of the Royal Jidi Ocean World aquarium, told The Associated Press that the shape of the dolphins’ stomachs made it difficult to push an instrument very far in without hurting the animals. People with shorter arms could not reach the plastic, he said."
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16203273/ - diktator279, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8This would have been cooler if they were pandas.
- ihatemakingscre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Do you find something comical about my appearance when I am driving an automobile? Everyone needs to drive a vehicle, even the very tall. This was the largest auto that I could afford. Am I therefore to be made the subject of fun?
- seattle98104, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Your lack of understanding of basic animal anatomy is maddening.
(or you just made the lamest joke in this entire thread) - MacRae, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Could the Guinness Book of World Records become a directory for superheros?
"We need some small hands for this job... Look up the world's smallest person and get them over here!"
"This is going to take some balance, is the person who can balance the most glasses on their head in the world available?"
People's talents finaly get put to use. - diktator279, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8This reminds me of the movie Armageddon. Oil drillers sent to space to blow up an asteroid, Herdsman sent to seaworld to save a dolphin...
Wtf. - mrgono3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5If you read the article then you would see the picture.
So why even the link? - Zand3r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5That is so kick ass, i dont believe they knew to call him. I would like to know their exact thought processes.
- xOCxKILLSx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Because he just died last October.

"Why didn't they just get the world's longest-armed man?"
He's busy tickling midgets in a tree (or well). - noonzie, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Ring Ring... (Translated to English) Hello, Xishun residence.
[Fushun Aquarium] Hi, may I speak to Boa Xishun please.
[Boa] Please stop calling, the answer is yes. I am 100% in proportion, even down there.
[Fushun Aquarium] I am sorry sir that isn't why I am calling, although that is interesting to know
[Boa] Then how can I help you.
[Fushun Aquarium] well..I am with the Aquarium and we have this dolphin and it..
[Boa] stop right there..before you continue I must tell you I have an overwhelming fear of dolphins.
[Fushun Aquarium] This one is really nice.
[Boa] ok, go ahead
[Fushun Aquarium] this dolphin has swallowed some plastic and we have done everything we can to retrieve it from it's stomach, but nothing works. We figured since you have the longest arms around that you might be able to..
[Boa] There is no way I am putting my hand up there!
[Fushun Aquarium] I'm sorry, you must not understand. You will go in through it's mouth.
[Boa] hmmm...well that makes more sense. Have you guys tried ipecac. I watched this video on youtube.com once before it was banned and it made the guy puke all over the place.
[Fushun Aquarium] sorry, I never saw that video. Anyway, would you mind coming down to give it a try.
[Boa] What's in it for me
[Fushun Aquarium] We will let you in the aquarium free of charge!
[Boa] Deal, I will be there as soon as I am done. Hey..that one is so long it's sticking out of the water.... FLUSSSHHHHHHHHHHH.... I'm on my way. - maiku00, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I am the great humungous!
- WolfwoodX, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6HAHA that is so f***ing funny! It makes me want to merge without looking!
YEAH RUMSFELD!!! - toxonix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Much better to reach the mouth and remove it than to do surgery. Recovery time for having a hand stuck down your throat is almost nil. Cutting a mammal open, moving muscle aside and cutting into the stomach is dangerous, life threatening and could take weeks or months to recover from. Surgery is a last resort.
Dolphin + plastic = :( - halik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@Cappez
That's not what she said! - Nadsofed, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I want "Tall Man" action figure with stomach cleaning arms.
- stephdau, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Too bad he can't help the Chinese white dolphin any more... :(
http://digg.com/environment/White_Dolphin_Extinct_After_20_Million_Years_Of_Existence - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2RTFM...
If you went to the Wiki linked, you would see that that's the average height for Non-hispanic White males. - WindyT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Just curious, what kind of puppet can you make with an upside-down dolphin?
- noonzie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I knew he was a super hero
http://www.aftonbladet.se/karleksex/0603/24/NYHETER-24s34-lang-FRI-fri_438.jpg - ptFoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Actually the average height for Chinese from the North China is greater than the US Average height.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I doubt even he can reach that far.
... wait maybe there is hope!
http://www.countdowncreations.com/roboclaw.htm - ChileanGoD, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Well... good thing it wasn't a constipated elephant.
- chuckayoub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Now this is a tall man:
http://www.maniacworld.com/worlds_tallest_man.htm - SimonGray, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2That's one tall Mr. Spock impressionist.
- jerrycan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Well, that clinches it. He's finally decided to use his powers for good. Thanks for all the fish too!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1eh i even searched the page for "Asian" and i didn't find anything... Then I look up to see i duped a comment!
- zylvester, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Seems like usual CCP propaganda diversion story away from a serious news item of the extinction of the white dolphin
