This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Well, that's what the text says, anyway. It describes "Kahiitan" Golovinn as 7 shaku (30.3cm) and 2 sun (1/10 shaku) tall, and whatshisface behind him 7 shaku tall. But it's most likely an exaggeration.

Some tall ass people even if it is a little overblown.
