World's Tallest Man Limited by Troubles

How would you like to be the world's tallest man? Not me, that's for sure. Leonid Stadnik's phenomenal height has forced him to quit a job he loved, to stoop as he loves around his house and to spend most of his time in his tiny home village because he cannot fit in a car or bus. According to the Guinness World Records he is the world's tallest human. In 2006 he was officially measured at 8 feet, 5 inches, surpassing a Chinese man to claim the title. He has found through his unusual height that there are a great many good hearted people. He said thanks to them, he has shoes and clothes. He is 37 years old and a former veterinarian and still lives with his 66 year old mother.
