[/align][align=center][/align][align=center][/align][align=center][/align][align=center][/align][align=center][/align][align=center]Leonid Stadnik, a 37-year-old former veterinarian, is 8 inches taller than the former titleholder, China's Bao Xishun, who measured 7 feet 9 inches, Guinness World Records spokeswoman Amarilis Espinoza said in London.

Stadnik's growth spurt started at age 14 after a brain operation apparently stimulated his pituitary gland, which produces the human growth hormone.

He lives with his mother, Halyna, in northwestern Ukraine, taking care of the family's house and garden.

According to Guiness, the tallest man in medical history was Illinois native Robert Pershing Waldlow, who was 8 feet 11 inches and died in 1940 at the age of 22.

The world is geared for people between 5'4", and 6'2". When engineers are designing for ergonomics, I think this is the criteria being used, because about 80% fit this category.

But hey Space, on the computer nobody knows how tall you are, I thought you were at least 6'5"

Space,
You're one of the tallest guys I know. Why you ask? Cause you take other people's feelings into account.
A L-O-T of people do not.
I can tell by the billions (j/k here) of post topics you start that read "Say Thanks To A MCF Moderator"

My $0.02 worth on the height un-impared in this world. They tend to get the upper management positions vs short guys like me.
(I'm 5-10 on my not tippy toes)
