The tallest man in medical history for whom there is irrefutable evidence is Robert Pershing Wadlow. He was born at Alton, Illinois, USA, on February 22, 1918, and when he was last measured on June 27, 1940, was found to be 2.72 m (8 ft 11.1 in) tall.

Stretchiest Skin [Garry Turner]
Garry Turner, of Caistor, Lincolnshire, England, stretched the skin of his stomach to a distended length of 15.8 cm (6.25 in) on the set of Guinness World Records: Primetime in Los Angeles, California, USA, on October 29, 1999.
Garry has a rare medical condition called Elhers-Danlos Syndrome, a disorder of the connective tissues affecting the skin, ligaments and internal organs. With this condition, the collagen that strengthens the skin and determines its elasticity becomes defective, resulting in, among other things, a loosening of the skin, and "hypermobility" of the joints. In more serious cases, it can cause the fatal collapse or rupturing of blood vessels.

Heaviest Car Balanced on the Head[John Evans]
ItÂ’s death defying, itÂ’s daunting and itÂ’s downright dangerous. But England's John Evans balanced a 159.6 kg (352 lb) Mini on his head for 33 seconds at The London Studios, UK on May 24, 1999.
Dangling cars from his head is all in a day’s work for professional ‘Head Balancer’ Evans. He’s balanced people, books and beers, but the car’s by far the most deadly trick – a strong wind and it could be the end of the road for John.
JohnÂ’s a gigantic guy. HeÂ’s 2 meters tall and weighs in at 155.7 kg (343 lb). But itÂ’s his 60.9cm (24-inch) neck thatÂ’s the only part of his body strong enough to take such immense weights. So the slightest slip, trip or nudge could send him tumbling to a crushing death, as his arms wouldnÂ’t be able to cope with the load!
This big fella has broken 25 records in 11 categories and is going for more.

WorldÂ’s Largest Bike. Greg Dunham of Stockton, California, built this ginormous 15-foot high, 25-foot long motorcycle on a dare!
Dunham built the 15-foot high, 25-foot-long monster bike over three years. It weighs about 6,500 pounds and Dunham steers it from a cage below the handlebars.
The beauty shop owner said he created the monster bike because his friends said it couldn’t be done and he wanted to prove it could. The reaction he gets from people who see it is icing on the cake. "People love it," Dunham says. "Fifteen guys came from out of nowhere to see it. One of the guys said, ‘Build me one!’ People love it!" -

The longest current reigning monarch in the world.
Who?
His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej
Where?
Thailand
How long?
June 9, 1946 to current
King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the ninth monarch of the Chakri dynasty of Thailand, is currently the world's longest reigning monarch, having succeeded to the throne on June 9, 1946. The reign is both an historic milestone and a personal triumph. It stands as a remarkable testament to the role of the monarchy which has guided the nation for more than 700 years since its birth in the 13th century. But not only has King Bhumibol Adulyadej preserved the continuity of a regal tradition in Thailand, he has also succeeded in enhancing its relevance in an age when royalty elsewhere has either vanished or become irrelevant and anachronistic.
