If you were interesting in height of course you have to hear story about Adam Rainer who was during his life a midget and a giant
the most crazy thing about him that at the at of 18 he was about 4 ft 5 and at the age of 25 he had dramatic growth spurt and reach 7 ft 2 and after that he continuied growing till the end of the life
his had a a pituitary tumor
the question is how he could grow for such a long amount of time ,ok i can imagine his growth plates were open at 18-25 but after?! things happen
Quote from: 0184946 on February 08, 2017, 12:28:41 AMthat sounds awfully similar to robert wadlow's story. he died 8'11 at 22 and showed no indication of having an end in growth at his time of death. seems like giants growth plates never fuse lol. this was his timeline with age and height increased.
