The tallest man in the world and he can barely get by. Won't anyone hire him to do endorsements or something?

Now, maybe. Looks like even Guinness didn't know he existed until now.

"To relax, he cultivates exotic plants and pampers his tiny, blue and yellow pet parakeet with his huge hands."

PODOLIANTSI, Ukraine - At age 33, Leonid Stadnik wishes he would stop growing. He's already 8 feet, 4 inches. Recent measurements show that Stadnik is already 7 inches taller than Radhouane Charbib of Tunisia, listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the tallest living man. He's also gaining on the 8-11 Robert Wadlow, the tallest man in history.

You must have been educated here in the U.S.

You also; nothing bigredguy said is outlandish whatsoever. The man in the article IS the tallest man on the planet. What are you getting at?

Surely that's something they can fix? Somebody needs to get him here to the US & see what can be done for him.

yup, being so big puts enormous stress on the body. our design doesn't scale that well. its like how a real giant ant would be unable to even lift itself... somethings just don't scale.
