            Leonid StadnykЛеонід Стадник
            Born 1971
            Podolyantsi, Chudnivsky Raion,
            Zhytomyr Oblast, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union
            Known for Tallest living human being
            Height 2.57 m (8 ft 5 in)
            Weight 200 kg (440 lb)

            Leonid Stadnyk (Ukrainian: Леонід Іванович Стадник) (born 1971 in Zhytomyr Oblast, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union) is the world's tallest living man according to Guinness World Records 2008.[1] He is a certified veterinarian and veterinary surgeon and lives with his mother in the village of Podolyantsi, Ukraine. He claims to be 2.57 m (8 ft 5 in) tall, and claims to be about 200 kg (440 lb) (April, 2004). He also claims to have the largest palm size recorded, at 31 cm (12¼ in) long (this claim has not been independently verified).[2]

            Leonid Stadnyk's excessive growth began after brain surgery when he was 12 years old. He developed a pituitary gland tumor which caused the gland to secrete large amounts of growth hormone, resulting in what doctors describe as acromegalic gigantism.

            He has claimed to be the tallest man in the world much earlier, but had not been recognized as such, as he previously refused to be measured according to Guinness World Records procedures.

            On August 8, 2007, Guinness book's spokeswoman Amarilis Espinoza stated that in the 2008 edition of the record book, Mr Stadnyk at 2.57m, replaces Bao Xishun, a native of Inner Mongolia in China who stands 2.36 m.[3]

            A Pravda news report in Spring 2006 reported that Leonid Stadnyk grew 2 cm (0.79 in) in the previous year, not accounting the time between the original Spring 2004 report and Spring 2005. According to Pravda, his health is slowly failing in that he needs to hold on to limbs of trees and the side of his house to walk about. A group of Ukrainian business people donated a satellite dish and a computer to Stadnyk and now he is on the Internet.

                                Update for the 8 foot guy from Mount Apo!... he's recovering from his swelling balls in the US... a friend of mine in Davao told me that his father is a Kapre living in Mount Apo and his mother is a distant relative of the Emans...

                                Reports are that the trainers are still struggling to teach the guy how to use proper basketball since the 8 foot guy grow up playing with coconuts as a basketball in Mount Apo... SBP is now considering hiring a foreign coach from the Alps in South America since the Himalayans were using rocks as basketball ...
