The World’s Tallest Man Ever

The tallest man ever has been recorded as Robert Wadlow, who stood an impressive eight feet eleven inches tall. He started out life in 1918 as a completely normal sized baby (for which I am willing to bet his mother was very grateful). Problems with his pituitary gland soon became evident, however, and rapid growth was the result. By age thirteen he had attained the height of seven feet four inches. He died in 1940 at the age of only twenty-two. An infected foot was the culprit. It is said that it took a full dozen men to carry him to his grave, which is located in Upper Alton Cemetary.

One of my friends saw a short movie about Robert Wadlow where she said she found out she can grow taller using some herbs and vitamins. Because she is minion, she looks now, all the time on internet, so she can find a good way to grow taller. It’s silly!
