I think Christoph Waltz is the best example of this. He's like 5-7 but has the same size head as Yao Ming.Nonlinear FC wrote:A lot of people we see on TV or in the movies have a weird head-to-body ratio. Ben Affleck is a really good example. ENORMOUS noggin. George Stephanopolous - oversized domepiece.

Re: First big news story as a kid?
Born in '78, so the early/mid 80's are where I first gained a vague awareness of things going on in the wider world. Earliest news things I remember are: the '84 election, the '84 Olympics (largely because I lived in the L.A. area), the stuff with Qaddafi...but the first singular thing that was quic...
