Think BIGger..

Most teenagers and kids of today complain about being too short, or not growing enough, but...someone complaining about being too tall??? From Ukraine, Leonid Stadnik who is 33 years old and still hasnt stopped growing. He stands at a towering 8 feet 4 inches. He is already 7 inches taller than the previous record holder of the tallest living man. He's gaining on the tallest man in HISTORY record of 8 feet 11 inches. Like most of these large record holders, he says he does not want to be recognized for something so insignificant as being tall, he says he deserves no award. He used to enjoy working on a cattle farm but had to stop after his feet became frostbitten since he was unable to obtain a size 27 shoe. Big shoes, cost big money...a pair of shoes his size are equivalent to a month of his pay. He weighs around 440 pounds and suffers from a previously broken leg, and has severe knee pain. Such a big man is known to his friends and family as a gentle giant because when he wants to relax he spends his time petting his beautiful little blue and yellow parakeet.
