    This is a link to a printable pdf file of Yao's actual foot/shoe print for you to measure up against. Kind of silly of course but the link is from the Washington Post, one of the nation's paper of record so I guess we Clutch fans can indulge. The printout also has a bunch of Yao facts - Shoe size is 18 (so his foot is longer than 13 inches) and his shirt size is XXXX Large (the sleeves are still 7 inches short - gator arms indeed). At this rate, you can expect Yao to be featured in Tiger Beat and Teen People any day now...

    One of my boys gets Nickelodeon magazine. The last issue had some Yao facts in it. They included an actual sized photo of the palm side of his hand for a 'compare your hand to his' feature. I have longer hands than most people I run across, but Yao's made mine seem almost kid-like!:D

    I imagine something like that is available for fans at Compaq, though. Correct??

    i think you misread it. they mean that even when he has an XXXX large shirt on the sleeves on the shirt are still 7 inches too short for him.
