Quote:

"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."

Bless him.

If the tumor weren't removed, would he have kept growing indefinitely? Would he have kept growing until it killed him?

Gotta wonder how the world's tallest man can be 'revealed'. Was somebody hiding him? If so, how?

I don't think so. Andre the Giant had the same condition but didn't grow forever. It did end up contributing to his death, though.

Of course he'll find a girlfiend. A pornstar one. Imagine the size of his cock!

I bet the midget pornstar would shag him.

It probably already has. Most of these above-7-footers die young of complications related to their height.

The guy out of Big Fish, for a start. He was going to play Andre the Giant in a film about his life, apparently.

Um, that was just computer trickery Matthew, he didn't really exist.

The Big Fish guy I mean, not Andre The Giant.

He did, but he obviously wasn't 20' tall like in the film.

Actor Matthew McGrory died at home in Los Angeles on Tuesday. He was 32. Police say the huge star, who was over seven foot tall, passed away from natural causes.

Mainly head trauma from door frames.

I can't help but feel a tinge of childlike disappointment whenever I see a gigantism fella shuffling about on walking sticks. You always imagine them lifting cows above their heads and using trees to club people and that.

Not just Ange. The BBC London weather presenter was frothing at the gash over him this morning, too.

I used to live a few doors away from Hussein Bisad. He used to have a stupid sports car. Stupid because it was stupid anyway, but even more stupid with him in it.

Nghh. 7ft 8.9ins. I hate how they've mixed metric and imperial units there - makes me cross.

markg · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 16631

No they haven't it's just a decimal fraction of an Imperial unit. It's quite common. Never heard of a thousandth of an inch used in engineering?

I've heard of fractions, like 5¹/₄ ins, obv. I've never seen it written in decimals before, though.

Whilst there is a tradition of 1/16ths of an inch for finer measurements, there's nothing wrong with decimal inches either. As MarkG said, they are common in engineering. My feeler gauges are marked up in thousandths-of-inches.

Also, gun calibres .45 and so forth.

No, silly, you'd use a micrometer for measuring external dimensions. Feeler gauges are for measuring gaps in things, like your japseye.

Every nerd needs a defence mechanism. Most use humour to win their bullies over, but Gaywood just isn't funny so he's had to work out something else.

How tall is myp again? 4'10"?

The problem is that internal organs like the heart don't keep up with the body growth and they end up constantly strained. This is not conducive to a lengthy lifespan.

He did, but they got it sorted. That's why his features aren't as 'individual' as those of Andre, Giant Singh, Giant Baba, Giant Silva or El Gigante.

A Chinese dude, apparently. His film appears on a link when the Turkish dude is done waving his flag.
