'Cause of the purple tongue, right?

Hopefully, he won't get a sore throat.

Why don't they ever stick their necks out and name these ugly ass creatures things like Hilter or Saddam?

Wow, southerners can't differentiate between Asian humans and African ruminants now? Or is it that they jsut see similarities?

Wait, this can probably be explained by nearly the entirety of America's lack of originality. Sorry if I offended you southerners.

/Goes off to watch another movie remake while listening to music that "samples" good music from the past.

Vagina! In the sky.
Don't ask me why,
Fell in love with a giraffe,
Now everybody laughs.

See, giraffes are like really tall, and like Yao Ming is really tall, not as tall as a giraffe, but tall for a human. Yao played basketball for... ***drum roll*** ...you guessed it, the Houston Rockets! See? Pretty clever, right? This is why the marketing people at zoos make like a huge chunk of change.

Former Rocket Yao Ming, who retired as the tallest active player in the NBA, is 7 feet 6 inches tall.

article FAIL

Manute Bowl towers over Yao I think

True but Manute A) Played for the bullets/wizards so he was techincally in the D-league, and b) had retired before Yao. On the other hand, the giraffe is unlikley to open severy shiatty ass chinese buffretgs in the Houston suburbs spreading food poisoning throughout the land. (off hand, if you like the yao ming buffets, please stay in pearland and stop polluting my city.)

Please, please tell me those two somehow had a baby. I must see what it looks like.

Damn! I remember when a baby giraffe warranted more than one crappy, blurry pic.

Is the giraffe constantly injured or something?

Did Kobe badly embarrass it?

DEATH TO MING!!!

CSB alert! I was at the Houston zoo with my family about a year ago, and we witnessed a giraffe lean down between another giraffe's legs, and drink its piss like it was a water fountain. Every time we go back, I can't look at those dirty bastards without thinking about that day. The little ones are pretty damn cute though. Look forward to seeing this one the next time we're there.

They named him Bear Grylls.
