I know I'm horrible for thinking it, but he reminds me of Jaws from James Bond.
Tallyho lads, rape the houses and burn the women! Leave not a single potted plant alive! Full speed ahead and damn the cheesemongers!

They get kranky though when I reply with things like "I guess your mother raised you on skimmed milk" and other various things I have replied to, to people who deserve such comments.

Hehehe, I remember a highschool friend, 6'9", used to have a perfect answer to that annoying query. He'd spit on them and say "it's raining".

Re: An Honourable Turk
Unfortunately he probably thinks his condition is more of a curse than a blessing. Health problems and being treated like a sideshow freak isn't something I'd wish for anyone. We all have to play the hand we've been dealt so hopefully Sultan can find the happiness he seeks.

Re: An Honourable Turk
I remember the guy from years ago. Efes Pilsen -the most remarkable Turkish basketball team- was looking to get him a comfortable life and raise him as a player of their own.
Pity that it didn't work out and being so tall even makes him unable to walk without support.
Re: An Honourable Turk
I really feel for the guy... I would have thought he could get a girlfriend though...I mean a 6+ ft'r wouldn't look too bad as the girl is usually a little smaller anyway...
Beskar... 6"9 sheesh... please never stand next to me in person
