What’s the officially confirmed height of the tallest man according to Guinness Book of Records’?
A man from Turkey has been officially crowned the world’s tallest man recently. The 27-year-old Sultan Kosen measures 8-foot 1-inch, and his status as the tallest man on the planet is verified by the Guinness Book of Records. Guinness officials claim that there are only ten reliable or confirmed cases in history of humans growing over 8 feet.(19)Kosen’s height is attributed to a cancer in brain which caused the brain to over-produce growth substance. The cancer was retnoved last year, and it was only then that he stopped growing. The abnormal condition of his brain explains the size of his feet, which measure 14. 4 inches, and his hands, which measure 10. 8 inches.(20)Kosen thinks that a great thing about being so tall is that he can see everyone from a long distance away. The other great thing is that he can use his height to change light bulbs and hang curtains at home, and something like that. Besides he wants to use his new-found fame to travel the world and then meet a woman to marry. There is believed to be a taller man in the world, Ukrainian Leonid Sladnyk, who reportedly measures 8-foot and 5. 5 inches tall, but he refuses to let anyone confirm his height, according to Guinness Book of Records.
