Beer Steak Bullshit

They have some ridiculously tall people over in China. Remember Sun Ming Ming - Tallest Athlete Ever? Yeah, and just as Sun Ming Ming, Yao Defen is also Chinese and according to Guinness Book of World Records, she’s the tallest woman in the word.

Yao Defen is 7′9″ or 236,2cm tall. Her “gigantism” was reportedly caused by a disease called acromegaly - it’s a form of brain tumor that resides on pituitary gland and causes excessive production of growth hormone (it’s the same hormone, the lack of which causes slow metabolism which makes you fat).

Yao Defen was born to poor parents and her family could not afford to pay for the operation of her acromegaly, but her story was filmed and broadcast by Discovery Channel UK which increased awareness in her case and Yao Defen was offered fre operation by two of worlds leading experts on Acromegaly. British broadcaster also raised money to help Yao Defen with after operation recovery.

Sun Ming Ming is the basketball player who can dunk a ball on his tippy toes. He doesn’t need to get off the ground to dunk it. At 7′9″ Sun Ming Ming is not only the tallest athlete ever. He’s the tallest athlete ever. And that guy is massive - weights 370 pounds.

Sun Ming Ming is of Chinese descent. He was born in Heilongjiang province of China and moved to the US in 2005 as potential NBA player. Yao Ming, one of established NBA stars playing for Houston Rockets is also Chinese (I think the myth of Chinese people being little can be put to rest) and before Sun Ming Ming entered the world of NBA, he was the tallest. But now, with mere 7′5″ he’s whole 4 inches shorter. What a dwarf, seriously.

Being 7′9″, 22 year old Sun Ming Ming also wears the jersey with number 79.

The video below is an amateur recording of Sun Ming Ming during premiere of Rush Hour 3 in Hollywood and damn, that dude looks like he’s twice the size of all other people. Crazeee
