BBC News: World's tallest man gets married

Another from Lenny, who although (like myself) has given upon on this blog-pursuit*, continues to regularly send me links to articles she thinks I will dig (which was the inspiration for this blog-pursuit). Generally, I do dig them. This one in particular is pretty incredible, her sending of it to me no doubt fuelled by her knowledge of my fascination with the odd, the bizarre, the extraordinary, hell let's just say it, the freakish.

I sent it to a bunch of people, here are some of their responses:

"Awwww :-) So sweet, and yet so pathetic. It's cool that the guy is using his height for such noble causes like saving the dolphins though."

"The wife is 5'2". It was more interesting to figure that out than to figure out the budget for the grant I am working on."

"That is unbelievable!!!!!!!!" (My highly articulate boss.)

There's an older article about him, about when he saved the dolphins: World's tallest man saves dolphin. That's kind of cooler, what with the video footage and photo and all. Plus, you know, my own cynicisms about the institution of marriage and all would make this one more appealing.

(*I haven't given up entirely. While reading this article I thought, It would be swell to have a place to save all these neat articles. It took me several hours to remember this ancient but noteworthy blog-pursuit. Let's revive it, shall we, you two?)
