    Is it possible to put together a team of 7-footers and just pass the ball all the way to the basket?

    He's not the tallest. Some dude from Europe is about 6 inches taller, 8'7" or 8'8". But that guy doesn't want to be in Guinness. I saw the documentary about him on Discovery.

    I thought the tallest man was some guy from Ukraine or Latvia.

    Talk about a book that jumped the shark...'round about '99. The '94 one I had I read ravenously as a teen, but now it's all "hip". It used to have 10 times the records. Now it probably listens to Lady GaGa.

    He was probably the tree in his elementary school play.

    If he has trouble finding work, I'm sure he'd be great at this...

    I used to read it all the time as a kid. I actually stopped after around 1989 or thereabouts. Does it really have a lot fewer records? This thing is like 600 pages. Hmm. As long as it has the usual "normal" records, I'm ok. I couldn't care less about who can eat the most hard-boiled eggs underwater in 10 seconds. :D
