You know what they say about men who wear big shoes....
...boy can they herd a lot of goats.
The world's tallest man has met the world's shortest man. Oddly, Bao Xishun and He Pingping are both from the same region of Mongolia.
What the fuck is in their water?

True story: Xishun was asked once, as the world's largest man and, therefore, the man with the world's longest arms, to save the life of a dolphin in China.
As it turns out, only his arms were long enough to reach into the dolphin and remove some plastic in the dolphin's stomach that was slowly poisoning it. This, to avoid dangerous surgery.
In retrospect, I suppose Pingping could probably have done the job too. Though I suspect it would have played out a little different.

Mike got there first with story of the heroic dolphin save. The man is a hero to all aquatic mammals. I heard that they were going to build a temple and raise him up as their god. Except, you know, no arms for building stuff. They have a lovely song about him though.
Hopefully Xishun and Pingping got a sweet deal from that appearance...and by sweet deal I mean a year's supply of tangy fermented yak milk.
