Undertoad Thursday Jul 12 11:47 AMJuly 12, 2007: World's tallest man marries
Congratulations to the world's tallest man, Bao Xishun, who stands 2.36 metres (7 feet 8 inches) tall. He is married.
IotD followers will fondly remember how Bao rescued dolphins by reaching into their stomachs.
Xia Shujian, his new bride, is 1.68 meters (5 feet 6) tall.
Bao was previously worried that they couldn't live together because he tends to break any beds he sleeps on. But a local furniture company donated a newly-made special bed and other furniture.
Quote:
"The most important piece is the bed, since I broke two beds before, and some people started to call me 'Break two beds'."
The new bed is 9ft long and 7ft wide: "I hope I won't break this one also," added Bao.

Reminds me of some mafia/mob type movie, one of the characters was a guy called 'Jimmy Two Times', cause he said everything twice.
