How Big?

towards the rear surrounding 1973 i went to hear heavyweight boxing advocate muhammad ali speak at the civil news-hounds club. as i stood in an elevator waiting to go to the club, ali and rival ken norton boarded. norton was to follow a short oration, too, good of like a imperfect feature at a big. what a revelation! i stood there, looking down on the world heavyweight boxing champion and his no. 1 challenger. yes, i’m slightly taller than ali. it gave me a feeling of unprecedented power. height is an critical factor in life. over the years, i’ve fed heights into my computer. if the resultant list seems top-heavy with boxers and other athletes, it’s only because their heights are well-publicized..(but that doesn’t appeal to tennis players.) the heights of politicians, artists and novelists aren’t readily available. the real heights of movie stars are fuzzt. they hyperbolize, just as they do in the matter of their youth and measurements. the vanity of politicians knows no bounds. fawning biographers and other lackeys overdo their hero’s height. among historical figures said to exceed 7 feet are peter the renowned, charlemagne and a specially unnerving british general named ironsides. sam houston’s apex also is over greatly inflated. women’s shoes entangle the poser, of course, and some men wear elevator shoes. the emperor augustus did. there are illogicalities in descriptions of historical figures, and augustus figures in one of those. he was significantly short. and julius caesar was considered “tall for a roman.” yet each is believed to have been about 5 feet 6. if numbers are to be believed emperor napoleon iii was even shorter than his uncle, napoleon bonaparte. we tend to think of president eisenhower as tall and president truman as midget. but there wasn’t much conflict between them. granted, it’s a bit of a stretch, but i’ve included heights given in film scripts. but first, a few words fro word usages. my dictionary gives two pronunciations for culmination. the support adds the “th” sound. i learned the dispute with the “th” sound. i’ve heard that that’s the way it’s at all times pronounced in the midwest. but the dictionary recognizes only a certain spelling: height. there’s another pretty pickle. it a person six feet tall or six foot tall? americans seem not to agree on this one. we bump into not far from trying to decide if we want to foot or feet.james bond? sean connery, george lazenby, timothy dalton and pierce brosnan are 6-3. roger moore is 6-2 daniel craig is 5-11.10 feet 6 inches? goliath: biblical giant. he was six cubits and a span high. “morning and evening” for 40 days, he defied the armies of israel. (i samuel 17.) this was in b.c. 1063. young david got him with a slingshot in the “valley of the terebinth.”10 feet 4½ inches?:cardiff giant: hoax. on oct. 16, 1869, workmen discovered what appeared to be a huge petrified chap near cardiff, n.y. george hull, a tobacco farmer and cigar maker in binghamton, n.y., had planted what came to be known as the “cardiff giant.” he and a fellow-dancer, h.b. martin, got a 5-ton congest of gypsum and hired two sculptors to in a “petrified” man. framework was the model. after three months of preparation, the graven image was buried on a farm, where it was arranged that workmen drilling a well would discover it. the colossus proved a tremendous tourist attraction, more than ever notwithstanding after it was disclosed as a bamboozle. the representation is still displayed in the farmers’ museum in new york state.8 feet 11?robert wadlow of walton, ill., was “world’s tallest,” according to guinness book of records.8 feet 4 inches? leonid stadnik: ukranian resident is said to be world’s tallest.between 8 feet and 7 feet 5 inches?johann svarfdaelingur: circus performer. p.t. barnum exhibited this icelandic giant, who weighed 359 pounds..?7 feet 7 — gheorghe muresan: basketball player.?7 feet 7 — manute bol: basketball instrumentalist.?7 feet 6 — shawn bradley: basketball player. he’s considered the quintessential “big, white stiff.”?7 feet5–yao ming: chinese basketball player, who wears size 19 shoe. he was premier choice in 2002 nba draft, taken by houston rockets.7 feet 9 inches? angus mckaskell: sideshow performer weighed 425 pounds, died in 1863 at age 34.7 feet 8 3/4 inches? sun ming ming: basketball actor weighs between 335 and 370, wears 19 shoe.7 feet 3 inches? peter mayhew: actor played chewbatta in big shot wars.7 feet 4 inches? jim cully: boxer. he weighs 275 pounds? andre the giant: wrestler. he weighed 500 pounds.? john rankin: boxer. he weighs 269 pounds? tip: bloodhound in uncle tom productions, as measured from tip to prediction. he weighed 246 pounds..”over 7 feet” and others in that line up?maximinus: roman emperor in 235-238. the first clodhopper to become emperor was nicknamed “thrax.” a fearsome warrior, he was described as “over 7 fe …
