Leonid Stadnik: World's Tallest Man

He's currently the tallest living guy alive. What a giant.

And this is the Chinese guy (Bao Xishun) who lost the title. He's 5 inches shorter.

Man, that guy's post count must be like 10 times higher than mine.

For sure, but your post count's still bigger than the Asian guy by default.

Damn, I'm depressed. I'm only 5-10½, maybe 5-11 on a good day. The guy is huge, what is he, like 8-3, 8-4?

I'm not too sure you'd like to be a freak of nature, that Chinese dude doesn't seem too thrilled about it...

We're the same height. It's a good height, imo, unless your dream of becoming an NBA player was shattered, like mine before.

Whoops, forgot to mention, he's 8'5."

Being tall like that is a terrible inconvenience. I certainly wouldn't want to go through being tall like that, especially since most tall people have leg/knee problems from having their legs handle all that weight. Plus, giants like those have lower life expectancies, I think.

The guy in Rush Hour 3 is Sun Ming Ming, aspiring "basketball" player who stands at 7'10.

BTW, that Ukranian Giant actually looks like a normal person, despite the height. I can't say much for the appearance of the Chinese giant though.

Its not that good to be a giant, your bones and muscles hurt much, but calling everyone a shortie, even Yao is fun

by **McDwyane** on Fri Aug 10, 2007 5:03 pm

Wow 8'5?What's his secret?I' really impressed.

by **Clock** on Fri Aug 10, 2007 6:25 pm

Well if he would tell what his secret, it wouldn't be a secret anymore.. would it?

by **Jackal** on Fri Aug 10, 2007 6:30 pm

Which is even dumber than the original sentance.

There's no secret to height in the first place. :shake:

My God, the level of stupidity shown by some members...it's enough to make me use this:

:surrender:

by **SVG18** on Fri Aug 10, 2007 6:36 pm

He must live nearby Chernobyl

What?! No secret to height???

Wow Jackal dosen't get sarcasm...

I guess you're the stupid.

by **Jackal** on Fri Aug 10, 2007 6:58 pm

I get sarcasm, if it's sarcasm that's being used.

Stupidity? No, I don't get stupidity, that seems to be your speciality.

"Doh, I eez da stoopid."

by **Clock** on Fri Aug 10, 2007 7:21 pm

So I didn't use sracasm properly? Meh.

Stupidity? No, I don't get stupidity, that seems to be your speciality.

(That's right. Sarcasm right in front of you)

It's not like I wanna be as tall as him. I mean, it's not cool to lower your head every time you pass by a tree. And I know about the leg/back problems tall people have: my grandpa had knee problems even though he was "just" 6-4.

And I don't have NBA dreams, either.

It's just that I really like this girl I met, she's from Holland and she's 5-10 and I feel like Tom Cruise next to Katie Holmes. I mean, she's not taller than me barefoot but she is if she wears heels.
And she's the first girl I meet that is actually interested in me.

I didn't have problems with my height until I met her. I mean, I'm the tallest of all the freshman in my school, I'm the tallest among the people I hang out with, I'm one of the tallest in my team (the tallest guy being 6-2), and women aren't taller than 5-7 here.

And if I was just a bit taller, say 6-1, 6-2, I wouldn't have the "tall chick" problem, either.

Wow 8'5?What's his secret?I' really impressed.

Oh, Lord

.

Can't we just ban him for stuff like this?

by **Jing** on Sat Aug 11, 2007 2:00 am

He could also put some spaces between seperate sentences too while he's at it...

I remember watching that Michael Ri dude, he was suppose to be the tallest basketball player but then North Korea and USA had that embargo or whatnot that prevented him from doing so.

Joe, go to Asia.

Seesh. That's the thing I've been saying all along. :wall:

You know, maybe we can ban him. He had, like, 300 or so posts, when I joined and it stayed that way for a while. Then it just balloned after that. What I'm trying to say is, he gets most his posts by making stupid comments in the patching sections:

Good luck with patching

That was truly out of nowhere. Jonthefon volunteered to do a patch and then El Barto thanked him and conversewade2.0 said that, after 11 days. Then he goes nice job on everuy signle patch, wallpaper, and sig he sees. It's not against the rules, but it's moronic, retarded, and just really stupid. If we all did that, Andrew's 16K would look so big anymore.

It's really wierd now. Every thread conversewade2.0 posts in, it's turned into a "ban converse thread!"

EDIT: 26K. My bad.

I think i saw a TV special on the ukrainian guy a few months back. Being tall sucks ass unless you can make it a living. At 6'7", I know I'm not THAT tall, but its tall enough to pose a problem. The next stranger that walks up SPECIFICALLY to ask me if I play basketball is getting the salty teabag.

by **keem21** on Mon Aug 13, 2007 1:30 pm

he looks very fit for a tall guy....

by **Pera** on Wed Aug 15, 2007 7:38 am

Whats his shoe size ? Damn those feet are huge .

It must suck to be 8'5 though , the poor guy probably needs everything to be customized for him

by **Jackal** on Wed Aug 15, 2007 8:54 am

Isn't that a good thing though? He's unique.

That reminds me of the little line from Fight Club...

"You're unique. Just like everyone else."

by **maceo24** on Wed Aug 15, 2007 11:15 am

lol, that kind of unique only works if youre rich. He's Ukranian - 'nuff said...

What really sucks is that he probably get NO play with the ladies. What girl do you know that could take a post count like that? :shock:
