Tall Order

Beijing, China - At an aquarium in Liaoning province an unfortunate dolphin somehow ingested several bits of toxic plastic that could potentially ruin the poor creatures afternoon. After hours of deductive reasoning and critical thinking, the resident Scientists concluded that no modern piece of medical equipment existed that was long enough to reach the mammals stomach. What could be done? Only one thing. Veterinarians hastily sought out and enlisted Bao Xishun, a 7-foot-9 herdsman from Inner Mongolia with 41.7-inch arms. Also the worlds tallest living man. He successfully removed the plastic with a dexterious reach and then stated:

"People with shorter arms could not reach the plastic."
