New world's tallest man revealed

[David]

Story

"The world's tallest man - who also has the largest hands and feet - has been revealed by Guinness World Records for the first time. ..."

8ft 1in! ... As with most extremely tall individuals this was the cause of a medical condition called pituitary gigantism. I heard of another cause somewhere in Europe that was similar but his feet were much larger! lol ...

I know the record is 8 foot 11. He died at around 23 though and wore like size ... I dont know... but it wasn't small. He died eventually at a young age because of medical problems (you would need a heart 10x normal size to pump that much blood, etc).
