The Tallest Man

Since I was small, had a fascination with human wonders. Some might call freaks of nature, but obviously I will not go down that road. I always enjoyed going to Ripley's Believe It Or edition of the Guinness Book of Records. People and amazing heights monuments are of particular interest to me. The world's tallest man alive is Bao Xishun, a pastor of Inner Mongolia, which stands at 7'9 ". The name of a Ukrainian Leonid Stadnik says he's 8'4", however, refuses to be officially measured by Guinness World Records.
