The Biggest Man on Earth

Each person on our planet is individual. Each of us has its own distinctive characteristics, not inherent in other individuals. Someone is very smart, and someone is talented, one has the perfect figure, and the other - gorgeous hair. Nature has endowed everyone with something good. However, there are absolutely different from most people - having the lowest weight, height or, on the contrary, too high growth and heavy weight. And what is he the greatest person on earth? And what is meant by the word "big"? Having great weight, growth or great influence in the destiny of the country, the world, etc.

To consider the influence of political figures, rulers, etc. Can be very long, since each of them contributed to the history of his contribution. Let's assume that the biggest person is the one that has the most impressive body weight. The absolute record registered in the world was 635 kilograms! Unfortunately, this man died in 1983, and since then no one has beaten this achievement.

The title of "the biggest man" still posthumously belongs to John Brouwer Minnock from Seattle. To date, Manuel Uribe, who lives in Mexico, has the largest body weight (560 kilograms). For several years, Manuel can not even stand up alone, let alone move. And his body weight was calculated only approximately, because there is no scales with the necessary scale.

Guinness Book of Records is registered one more largest man, whose body weight reaches 508 kilograms. You will ask, why is not Manuel Uribe included in the world record collection? And all because of the fact that the exact mass of his body has not been established.

With "heavy" people everything is clear, but after all the definition of "the biggest man" can be applied to the highest people of the Earth! The tallest man in the world is the Ukrainian Leonid Stadnik, whose growth is 257 centimeters. Leonid can not ride in buses and cars, so the only means of transportation for him is a horse. And to live to it year from a year it becomes more difficult, as the strengthened growth is a consequence of disease of a pituitary body. The pitman admitted that he was not satisfied with the world renown, so he gave up his title.

Now the biggest man in the world is the Turkish farmer Sultan Kosen. In 2010, its growth was 251 centimeters, but it is still increasing! The reason is a tumor in the pituitary gland. It is difficult for the sultan to move independently, but he likes a celebrity, so he is happy to travel the world.

But if you look into history, you can find out that in our country there were giants. So, in the Russian Empire in the 19th century there lived an ordinary peasant Makhnov Fedor. Its height was 2 meters 85 centimeters! And, according to the Guinness Book of Records, the highest person in the history of mankind is Robert Wadlow with an increase of 2 meters 72 centimeters. Our compatriot had a weight of 182 kilograms, was remarkable for his remarkable strength and wore 51-size shoes. The record holder died quite young - at 34 ... from pneumonia! And that's why his outstanding physical data were not fixed - official sources are not known.
