Pic of the Week - Yao Ming meets Jet Li

Subscribers to the that's 7 Days e-mail newsletter will know all about Bao Xishun. Reported to be the tallest man in the world, we regularly follow Bao's adventures in the newsletter sidebar. Readers will no doubt remember the time Bao heroically saved two dolphin's lives by using his long arms to pull plastic shards from their stomachs. Similarly, we all cheered the big man on, when, after a long search around the world for a suitable partner, he finally married a woman from his own home town. Bao also made headlines when he met He Pingping, who also hails from Inner Mongolia and who is one of the shortest people on earth.

And why are we talking about Bao? Has he made the headlines once more? No - we were simply reminded of him and Mr. He Ping Ping when we noticed this picture of Jet Li with Yao Ming at last night's NBA All-Star Game.
