 BEIJING (AP) - The world's tallest man married a woman two-thirds his height and half his age in a traditional Mongolian ceremony held with great fanfare Thursday at the tomb of Kublai Khan.

 Bao Xishun, a seven-foot-nine herdsman from Inner Mongolia, met his bride earlier this year after searching high and low, sending advertisements around the world.

He looks a little off to say the least - he may very well be impotent.

tall people have back problems. I should know.
First things that go are the lower back and knees.
The guys in his 50's. cut him some slack
 

[No Seriously]

He was a really big star before he was married, no pun intended. He hooked up with a good manager after it didn't work out in Basketball.

   This is waht I was thinking too, Ive read this somewhere before.

    Its true SD.. one of my buddies had such bad back problems cause of how tall he was they removed one of his vertebrae.. he's much better now, and although he's still taller than the rest of us we all call him shorty now.

[Sportsdude]

really how tall was he? I already know my knees are shot, doctor told me when I was 10 they'd need to be replaced when I get older.  

[purelife]

Yikes, SD.   That's not good to hear.  Hopefully, by that time, we have advanced in medical technology.    

[Sportsdude]

I dunno. Its inevitable I'm afraid I was born without any cartilage for the most part in my knees. Everytime my knees bend they make loud cracking noises. They sound like someone walking on gravel making that crunching noises.
