The Tallest Man in the World


How tall are you? In my class, the male classmate who the tallest is tall about 175 m. I contrast between him and the one man. He looks like short when he stands near the man. The man mentioned who names Robert Pershing Wadlow is the tallest man in history. He was born in Illinois,USA on 22 February 1918. When he was last measured 0n 27 June 1940, he was 2.72 m tall. At the age of nine, he could carry his father, who was 1.8 m tall and weighed 77 kg, up the stairs of the house.
In addition, he was recorded many kind of extreme body. For examples, he was about 222.71 kg in weight on his 21 st birthday and he weighed 199 kg when he died. His shoe size was 47 cm and his hands measured 32.4 cm from the wrist to the tip of the middle finger. He wore a size 25 ring and the most food that he had ever eaten was 8000 calories. He died at 1.30 am on 15 July 1940 in Michigan as a result of a septic blister. He waa buried in Oakwood cemetery, Alton. I think he is very tall. There are no people tall like him.
