again.... who doing the measurin'
I doh take dem on with dem 'ting at all.
look here I met an african here in Hamilton, one day at the Hamilton public library. I was stunned uh days. you have never seen anybody that tall I warn you. Incredible.
at least 8 feet some I am sure. tall, strong, slender. I am 5'11 and I was at his waist.
everybody around stunned! a perfectly normal human being going about his business but so tall he stunned.
you would have to see him to believe it. and he as far as I know is just one of them.
I had a sociology teacher who used to tell the white boys in the class. "you guys proud of your heights EH!"
deh were 6 five and six and so on. "there are parts of Africa where you are short if you go there SHORT!"
I did not take that teacher seriously but now I do. that guy I saw is only one of them
