The tallest man on record was Robert Wadlow from Alton, Illinois, who measured 8 feet 11 inches and died in 1940, according to Guinness World Records. As i know, the world tallest man nowadays is Bao, a Mongolian, who stands at 7 feet, 8.95 inches. However after i read the article reported recently, actually he had lost his title in 2006 to a man named Stadnyk, a Ukrainian, who is 8 feet 5.5 inches tall. Anyway, it was also reported that Bao will be rewarded back The World Tallest Man because Stadnyk refused to be remeasured. Stadnyk said that he don't want glory life but he just want a normal life with his mother. Overall, from the article, i realize that we can't be too proud of ourselves because we must remember that there are always people better than us outside there.................
