I see a physics problem here.


Former sumo wrestler Konishiki appears with Chie Iijima, for a press conference to announce their marriage at a Tokyo hotel Monday, Jan. 12, 2004 after Konishiki registered his marriage to the 28-year-old former medical worker Jan. 7. Konishiki, a native of Hawaii, who was the first foreign-born sumo wrestler to attain the second-highest rank of ozeki, has taken up a career as a TV celebrity in Japan since retiring from sumo in 1997.

Now there's a concept that would terrify every other woman on earth....

 

[Seabishop]

The situation is perfect for her - she gets to marry a celebrity without having to worry about marital relations which are physically impossible. Watch for her debut album soon.

Hmmm, if he rolls over in bed I think she might get crushed.

OT: Did anybody see how many kittens were killed on the Simpsons last night?

If he is lying on his back, he won't be able to roll over.

 

[El Feo]

Wow. They look like the number "10" walking next to each other.

All you physics fans - does "G = 6.67259 × 10^-11 m^3 s^-2 kg^-1" mean anything here?

Very well, but sumo wrestlers very agile and mobile

 

[H]

mmmm....oooooooook

what is she thinking? He cant be that famous.

 

[otterpop]

Should a woman marry a man who has a bigger cup size than her?

 

[biscuit]

So who else here wonders what will happen if these two lovebirds have a falling out? Will they get a divorce or will he just eat her?

No, he'll kill her and hide the body in a fold of fat.

 

[Wannaplan?]

Hello Bizarro Chet!!!! Me think girl not big enough!

 

[JNL]

Does not compute...

 

[GeogPlanner]

maybe she's thinking birth control by way of body barrier?

 

[Zoning Goddess]

I hope the little wife doesn't have to wash his undies. There's fodder for a nightmare.

 

[Rumpy Tunanator]

Hey, all she has to do is ride the wave

Yep... She isn't "walking" per se, she's orbiting him.

 

[BKM]

Eek! I have a shirt in the same pattern. I think I will burn it now

 

[Planner Groupie]

Oh my Goodness is all I have to say...

 

[donk]

[Gedunker]

"My husband, some hotshot! Here's his ancient Chinese secret, Calgon!"

 

[michaelskis]

maybe...

Wow

Here is what I am thinking… she had to have married him for his fame… so if HE can get a girl that looks like that “Note: she is not all that or much of anything close… BUT” I have to wonder if on a comparative scale, if that is what he can get, maybe I should move… I wonder how hot of a woman I could end up with?

According to my 6' - 2" friend that taught english in Japan, you can get some pretty hot women. They are crazy for the American men. He had to beat them away with a stick.
