What striking photos! It's interesting what triggers the 'we're not in Kansas anymore...' feeling.

*laughs* I don't think of you as short either, but wow, dude, you're short! :)

Those are really great photos. I've had a guess at where my 5'2" would measure up to you all and I feel tiny now.

Crikey. 0_0 Ador Akok Athuai is taller than the tallest player in the Australian Football League (Aaron Sandilands, at 211cm)(the tallest person I've ever met).

Are Sudanese people on average taller than people in other countries? I thought I read somewhere that the Dutch were the (on average) tallest people in the world, but I can't imagine there are too many Dutch people capable of towering over these men!

Yes, this really scuppers your plan to adopt a South Sudanese secret identity. Shortie.
