World’s tallest man saves dolphins
Posted by Michael.
Sometimes, you can do no better than the headline. The story is that two dolphins swallowed some bits of plastic that were in their acquarium, and despite best efforts, surgeons weren’t able to get the job done. Enter Mr Bao, who is 7′ 9.85″ – they wrapped the dolphin’s jaws with a towel to save his arm and then he reached down their throat and pulled the plastic shards out of their stomach! That’s pretty impressive.
Anyway, Nathaniel, I guess you have a job waiting if Stacy doesn’t work out for you? (and yes, I know that’s not how it’s spelled.)

That is just an amazing story. I’m not sure that it would be a good job for me though. From the pictures, he’s in that dolphin way up to his biceps… which, according to the news story, is quite a ways since his arms are something like 41″ long. My legs are only 35″ long.
Yeah, he’s a tall guy.

Well, maybe if the dolphins were a little smaller you could do the job. And then if a really big one came along then they’d have to bust out the big guns and Mr. Bao would do the job. Kinda like you never send the top-level diplomats to start the job, only bring them in to seal the deal or fix stuff if the talks dissolve?
