Tallest Man

I was looking at the Guinness World Records, and found it amazing how tall the tallest man in the world is. He is 8 feet and 11 inches (as shown in the picture above). This man, Robert Pershing Wadlow, was born February 22, 1918 in Illinios. He died July 15, 1940 only a month after his last measuring. His shoe size was 18.5 inches long, he wore a 25 size ring, and his arm span was 9 ft 5¾ in. His daily calorie consumption was about 8000. I personally don't know how he handled being that tall, towering over everybody around him. Even towering a good 2 feet over your father.
