The Tallest Man

Hi Mrs.Lambard , i was reading this article about the Tallest Man in the world. But that was in 1940 :) But it count right ? Ok so i gather in some information about him.

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.

Wadlow died at 1:30 a.m. on July 15, 1940, in a hotel in Manistee, Michigan, as a result of a septic blister on his right ankle caused by a brace, which had been poorly fitted only a week earlier. He was buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Alton, in a coffin measuring 3.28 m (10 ft 9 in) long, 81 cm (32 in) wide and 76 cm (30 in) deep.

Wadlow's greatest recorded weight was 222.71 kg (35 st 1 lb) on his 21st birthday and he weighed 199 kg (31 st 5 lb) at the time of his death. His shoe size was 37AA (47 cm, 18½ in long) and his hands measured 32.4 cm (12¾ in) from the wrist to the tip of the middle finger. He wore a size 25 ring. His arm span was 2.88 m (9 ft 5¾ in) and his peak daily food consumption was 8000 calories.

At the age of nine, he was able to carry his father Harold F. Wadlow, later Mayor of Alton, who stood 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in) and weighed 77 kg (170 lb), up the stairs of the family home.

The most tattooed person

The ultimate in multi-layered tattooing is represented by the chainsaw juggling, unicycling, sword-swallowing Lucky Diamond Rich (Australia, born New Zealand), who has spent over 1,000 hours having his body modified by hundreds of tattoo artists. He began by having a full collection of colourful designs from around the world tattooed over his entire body. But not content with stopping there, Lucky next opted for a 100% covering of black ink, including eyelids, the delicate skin between the toes, down into the ears, and even his gums. He is now being tattooed with white designs on top of the black, and coloured designs on top of the white!

Patriots's Coach stands on his desicion to go for first down

Bill Belichick stands by his decision to go for it on fourth down rather than punt to the Indianapolis Colts. In his news conference Monday, New England's coach says he thinks that strategy gave his team its best chance to win Sunday night. The gamble failed to produce a first down, however, and Indianapolis took over at the Patriots 29-yard line with two minutes left. Peyton Manning then threw a touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne, and the Colts won 35-34.The Colts' comeback win improved their record to 9-0. The Patriots dropped to 6-3.

'Twilight' fan girls howl for 'New Moon'... Coming out Nov. 20th, 2009

Talk about obsessed fans if they actually wrote "I ♥ You" and "Bite Me" on their faces.
Hey, I am a fan of Twilight myself but I wouldn't go that far by going to a UK Party for the New Moon movie and write those phrases on my face. The farthest I have ever gone was being a vampire for '09 Halloween and that's just about it, with an occasional "Vampires R Pimps," on my arm written in Sharpie, but then taken off the same day. People can go really far like these girls' love for Edward Cullen, the mysterious 17-year-old vampire, and Twilight. Congrats for the author, Steph. Meyer !

I know which one I would want!

So I was reading this very cool article about the top 16 Apple products "we" (meaning consumers) would like to see.

Check out all sixteen products in the article by clicking on the post title and let me know by writing a comment: which one would you ask for if given the chance?

Sesame Street Turns 40!

So have you ever watched Sesame Street? Was it a TV show that you remember watching as a child? I'm curious because when I was growing up, we didn't have cable....as in.....it didn't exist. (Yes, I'm old, thanks for reminding me!)

Most of you have grown up with cable/digital satellite in your homes and Nickelodeon has been your network of choice. What differences or similarities do you see between the shows on Nickelodeon and the shows on PBS (like Sesame Street)? Is one better than the other?

Also, I'd like for you to do a little digging and see how Sesame Street has changed. You can find some clues in the article (click on the title of this post!), but you can also ask some of the older people in your life.
