    geez that guy is 31??? All of the nutrients and growth hormones in his body must have gone straight to the tumor for ~20 years.

    I just watched it. Sad.

    The reason some people let these get this big is because they figure it will go away, they don't have the means to get help or they are very reclusive.

    He was in some remote village in China. Probably does not have the financial means to get it done. I'm guessing a team of doctors volunteer to do the surgery for free so they can get some fame out of it.

    It almost brought a tear to my eye when it said a circus tried to buy him for their monster show. Man that is so sad.

    Something I'm curious to know: Why are so many of these cases happening in China? :confused: :confused: :(

    Is there something in the water? Kinda like all the beautiful women in Miami? (I know its not the same thing but still... you get the point ;) ).. It's just weird how these tumor guys and some of the World's tallest men are from China. Obvious Yao, but also that basketball player who's in Rush Hour 3 and also the former Tallest Man in the World (until the title was recently given to a Ukrainian).


    Edit:: Oh yeah, also they also have the World's Smallest Man. From Mongolia I believe. Remember him? :cool:

    Edit II:: World's Harriest Man.. Wants to be Rockstar!

    Maybe because we've got a billion people and you don't?

    But seriously, being ask to be bought to be a show at a circus? Imagine how humiliating that offer would've been to him. Really feel sorry for that poor guy. His neck muscles must be incredible though.
