Ethan Kahn Introduction

Hello! My name is Ethan      Hello ya'll! My name is Ethan Kahn. I'm a student-athlete here at the University of Oklahoma. If  you insist on knowing what sport, I'm a gymnast. I compete for the OU men's gymnastics club team.  We are 4-time national champions!  Personal Photo      Let's get to the stuff that has to do more with me personally though.

My brother and I are practically  opposites. He's spazzy and extroverted while I'm calm, cool-headed and more introverted. He likes  cool colors like blue and purple while I tend towards warm colors like red and orange. Even our  majors are quite different. He's in pre-dentistry and I'm a philosophy major.             Speaking of philosophy, I love to think about, well, everything.

'Giant' isn't a good enough term. Rather, Titans would be a more  befitting name of those country-stomping monsters.       The 'normal' ones stood 3,000 ells (2.13 miles) in height ( The Book of Enoch - R.H. Charles  version ). Some were far larger! When Og, king of the giants, stretched out on the ground before his  death, his body reached from Banias to Lake Merom ( Holy Land - Noah ). That's a full 4.66 miles  ( Dis
