  1. Robert Wadlow's height of 8' 11.1" qualifies him as the tallest person in history, as recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records

    REF:http://hazardkentucky.com/wadlow.htm


  2. robert wadlow 8 ft 11. lol some punk said 12 foot haha

  3. he was like 12 feet tall or something

  4. In 1879, archaeologists dug into an ancient burial mound at Brewersville, Indiana, and unearthed a human skeleton that measured nine feet eight inches in length.

  5. The tallest man in medical history for whom there is irrefutable evidence is Robert Pershing Wadlow. He was born at Alton, Illinois, USA, on February 22, 1918, and when he was last measured on June 27, 1940, was found to be 2.72 m (8 ft 11.1 in) tall.

    Wadlow died at 1:30 a.m. on July 15, 1940, in a hotel in Manistee, Michigan, as a result of a septic blister on his right ankle caused by a brace, which had been poorly fitted only a week earlier. He was buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Alton, in a coffin measuring 3.28 m (10 ft 9 in) long, 81 cm (32 in) wide and 76 cm (30 in) deep.

    The tallest *living* man is Leonid Stadnyk (Ukraine, b.1971), who measured 2.57 m (8 ft 5.5 in) in 2006.
