OK, this is really old news, but I find it mildly amusing: =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ (People's Daily September 25, 2002) Yao Ming Befriends Hollywood Dwarf Verne Troyer Miniature film star Verne Troyer could be set to line up with basketball's biggest star. Hollywood chiefs have written a script about the Yankee sport in which 7ft 5in Yao Ming will coach the 2ft 8in Austin Powers star, according to the Daily Star. Yao Ming is at least 5 inches taller than all of his Houston Rockets team-mates and is set to become the next biggest thing in the NBA after legend Michael Jordan gave him the thumbs up. Yao Ming's 19-size trainers are big enough for Mini-Me to comfortably sit in. The script has been sent to Houston for approval as producers hope to create a Twins style hit, in which portly Danny DeVito teamed up with Arnie to play brothers. Now if only they find a part for Beyonce Knowles......
