Wait, didn't they just find the remains of Bigfoot? That'd be pretty sad for her family to see her remains on ice come the press conference on Friday.

No way! They just ran the documentary on her, and the Tall Club of America, and the world's tallest man on TLC this past weekend!!!

Abnormally tall people warm my heart, even as they make me feel slightly inadequate.

Time to drag out my copy of Split Enz's "Time & Tide" album...


Hello Sandy Allen

The world's tallest woman

We made friends in New York

Don't know if you'll remember

I'm bound to say I felt uneasy

when I first laid eyes on you

But I liked the way you talked

Like a living hoper

Towering over our heads in more ways than one

The hand that shook my hand was awesome

It still amazes me

Hope you're happy - Sandy Allen
Hope your garden is blooming
We're all staring at the mirror
tryin' to put our faces on
Appearance never held you back
Must be when you're number one
you don't have to try so hard

Neil Finn is awesome.

Goodbye, Sandy Allen.

She did seem nice and always smiling.

Adrian, next time use a picture with some perspective. She could just as well be 5'2" in that one.

At least she wasn't short like McCain.

For a society obsessed with looks she must have had her fill of fools. R.I.P.
