Yeah like some of you guys already know, I am a big fan of EXTREMELY tall people. I am very interesting in that subject. So as for the subject of the tallest man in the world, Sultan Kosen was recently crowded the tallest living man in the world at 8'1" (he was measured unlike Stadnyk who claimed to be 8'4 or 8'5 and many others who claim to be over 8 feet tall. btw Stadnyk is a bull****ter and the only reason he doesn't want to get measured is because he is actually only around 7'6 ). I think he should be the NEXT person Guinness should measure for their tallest person record because I honestly don't see anyone else living who's a legitimate claimant!
I know this Chinese giant was featured somewhere on this forum about two years ago, but I think it is worth mentioning him again because he is the ONLY OTHER CONFIRMED 8 FOOTER on this planet!

He was measured 2 years ago on a Chinese TV program at 'only' 242 cm (7'11 1/3") but that measurement was misleading because of the following reasons:
1. It was only ONE MEASUREMENT in the evening and a person's height shrinks over the day since waking up (often by more than an inch especially for extremely tall people that shrinkage would likely be even more)
2. He wasn't even standing full straight in that measurement (although he does have postural problems like kyphosis ).

And here's a link to a web page about him and other extremely tall people!

Here's a vid of him on Youtube from the documentary My Shocking Story: the World's Tallest Giants

Honestly, how can this man not be at least 8 feet tall? He's probably 8-2 or 8'3 if he was standing straight! So I think it is about time this man gets measured by Guinness and get recognization for what he deserves!
