Women like TALL men
Robert Wadlow, the tallest person in recorded history for whom there is irrefutable evidence. (1940)
His height was 8 ft 11 in (2.72 m) while his weight reached 439 lb (199 kg) at his death at age 22. |

What was the cause of death? That dude looks much older than 22.

He was walking in a parade and a brace rubbed him raw and he died from the infection.

Got me wondering so I looked it up. We are both wrong he died from a blister. Robert Wadlow died due to a septic blister on his right ankle caused by a poorly-fitted iron brace, which he wore to support his legs. He measured 8 ft 11.1 in (2.72 m) and weighed 439 lb (199 kg) at his time of death. |

At that height, driving a car must have been a challenge.
At age 12 he was 7-feet tall. |
