What's your superpower?
The long arms of the world's tallest man reached in and pulled out some plastic from the stomachs of two dolphins, saving their lives, officials said yesterday.Interestingly, the tallest living woman is only two inches shorter than Bao.
The dolphins got sick after nibbling on plastic on the edge of their pool at an aquarium in China. Surgical instruments failed to remove the plastic because the dolphins' stomachs tightened up in response. Some people also reached in to try to get the plastic, but their arms were too short.
Vets then asked for help from Bao Xishun, a 7-foot-9 herdsman from Inner Mongolia. Bao, the tallest living human, has arms nearly 3 1/2 feet long!
The dolphins' jaws were wrapped in cloth so they couldn't bite Bao as he pulled out the objects. The animals reportedly are in good condition. - Washington Post, December 15, 2006
