Tallest Man in History - Robert Wadlow 8ft11" [Full Resolution]

Tallest Man in History - Robert Wadlow 8ft11" [Full Resolution]. Born in 1918, Robert is still to this day known as the tallest person in medical history. When the Pathe cameras went to film him in 1935, he was a mere 8′ 1 1/2″. When they returned the next year, he was 8ft4″. By the time of his death at just aged 22, he had grown to 8ft11''. In this clip, he is surrounded by his family and even though his father was 6ft, none of them stand much above his waist. Video is from 1936.

[Mozay2008]

Fake. He is standing on something

[jazzer741]

@shuffleman321 So he would hate for people to say he has a big dick? Alright that makes sense. Your so right i'm so sorry to offend any memory of this guy.

[VinnyCoD]

lol a meer dwarf of 6 feet

[shuffleman321]

@jazzer741 Once again I know that what you said was a joke. I know that you have little to no prior information about Robert Wadlow. I also know that all you want to do is bring attention to yourself, and show everyone how disrespectful you are to Robert. It's very sad and pathetic...

[jazzer741]

@shuffleman321 Really? So anytime I make a joke you want me to Google every part of it before I say it. I think maybe two people in the world give two shits about that book. IT WAS JUST A JOKE NOT A FACTUAL STATEMENT. It's like someone making a joke about your mom when they don't know her.

[shuffleman321]

@jazzer741 No I never said you had to read an entire book. All you really should do is do a tiny bit of research, like googling the subject. It's really as simple as that.

[jazzer741]

@shuffleman321 Oh okay so I am suppose to read every book or at least one book on a subject before I make a joke? That makes no fucking sense. It's a stupid joke nothing more nothing less. Get over your smug sense of self worth and "intelligence" and realize the true meaning of the comment.

@ezojimbo100 29 1/2

[shuffleman321]

@jazzer741 I really hope that you do a little research next time before you just assume you know what your talking about when It comes to the body of very tall people.

[jazzer741]

@shuffleman321 I have not once brought up a interest in dicks I just made a astute observation that any person would make. I'm sure his penis isn't minuscule, and I no longer believe it is huge because YOU corrected me. I said no homo because I meant no homo, it was a simple observation. I admit I thought he had a big dick but who wouldn't think that without reading some fucking obscure book.
