World's Tallest Woman Dies in China at Age 40

Guinness World Records in January 2010 had certified her as the world's tallest living woman at 7 feet and 7 inches (233.3 centimeters).

The Xin'an Evening News did not give the cause of death but said in a report that Yao suffered from gigantism, with a tumor on her pituitary gland disrupting her levels of growth hormone.

She clearly needed to drink more. Like Andre the Giant. World's most epic drinker.

She died of a broken heart - she found out CC was already married.

Watching the Gen Xers get old is sad.

Star Trek Phaser Battle was cooler anyways.

I only vaguely remember that.  I think we went through a couple Mattel Football handhelds though.

edit:  Oh, and both of you jerks forced me to go to http://www.wishbookweb.com/ to look through old catalogs.  I could waste an entire day looking through the 1979 Sears Christmas Catalog.

God I loved the sears catalogs.

How old are you spiess, you must be older than I was thinking?

Explains a lot.

As obesity is one of the big factors in sperm quality, I expect such studies carried over to the US to find American sperm power rating to be even lower than France.

We are allowing a semen-shaft gap.
