Tokyo is doomed!

My favorite part of this picture is the fact that Reuters put an (R) next to her name, so you would know which one is the tall one.

Here’s another picture. Guess which one she is:

The tallest woman in Asia, Chinese Yao Defen (L) stands at the entrance of her home in
Shu Cha in eastern China's Anhui province March 15, 2006. Yao is 34 years old and

I bet Cheap Trick wasn't singing about her...

Yao!

I mean, wow!

I have no doubt that the woman is real, but the top photo of her looks 'suspended'. Seems to have been patched onto the other for comparison, perhaps.She doesn't look 'in place' there.
Giveaway- look at the shadows on the left. They are going from left to right under the woman's chair. The giantess' shadow should be the same. It isn't.

It's the herbs.

Quick! Someone call Steve Quayle!

I guarantee you the photographer was laughing as he put the "(R)" in the caption.
