Faustian Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I always wonder if the cock grows in proportion to the body. Not a gay question, just curiosity. If so, surely a career in porn is in the offing? His fingers alone could do wonders... I'm 6'4" and I have trouble buying clothes/shoes enough as it is! Also small cars are a pain in the ass, amongst other places. Plane/bus/coach journeys can also be unpleasant...I can't imagine what it's like for this guy. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/8259728.stm The world's tallest man - who also has the largest hands and feet - has been revealed by Guinness World Records for the first time. At 8ft 1in (2.47m), Sultan Kosen, from Turkey, is about 4in (10cm) taller than previous title-holder Bao Xishun. The 27-year-old's hands measure 10.8in (27.5cm) and his feet 14.3in (36.5cm). At the launch in London of the 2010 edition of the book, Mr Kosen said he was hoping his new-found fame would bring him love for the first time. "The first thing I want to do is have a car that I can fit in, but more than that I want to get married," he said. "Up until now it's been really difficult to find a girlfriend. I've never had one, they were usually scared of me. I'm hoping now I will find one." He went on: "Hopefully now that I'm famous I'll be able to meet lots of girls. I'd like to get married." One of the difficulties of being so tall is getting clothes which fit and Mr Kosen wore a specially-made suit to meet journalists, which was one of the first outfits he has owned that is the right size. He also had to have a three-metre-long bed made. Mr Kosen said: "The most difficult things are, for example, that I can't fit into a normal car. When I get into a car, it's a really tight fit. "I can't go shopping like normal people, I have to have things made specially and sometimes they aren't always as fashionable. "The other thing is that ceilings are low and I have to bend down through doorways." But his height does have its upsides. He said: "The good thing about being so tall is that I can see people from a long distance. The other thing is at home they use my height to change the light bulbs and hang the curtains, things like that." Mr Kosen is the first person in more than a decade to be more than 8ft in height, a spokesman for Guinness World Records said. He grew normally until he was 10, but then a tumour caused him to develop a medical condition called pituitary gigantism. The tumour was removed last year and his growth stopped. His visit to the UK is the first time he has travelled outside Turkey, and he will go on to visit the US and Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyinEwa/Perv Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Big dude. I'm surprised in the problems he mentioned, he didn't mention the airplane ride. It was his first visit outside Turkey, it said, so I would imagine it would have been fresh in his mind. Somebody mush have sprung for first-class for him. 8 feet, man......I can't imagine being 6' much less another 2 feet beyond that. That guy is almost 80cm taller than I am. Shit!
