How is the weather up there?

Hold the phone kids! Seems we have another contender for world's tallest man! Since we broke the news about the world's tallest and smallest men (who both happen to live in China) we have another candidate for the throne!

"Bao" is a guy that is a shade under eight feet tall and his little buddy "Hee" stands in at two and a half feet. ...................BUT!
Leonid Stadnik, 36, a former veterinarian living in northwestern Ukraine, was measured at 2.57 metres tall in 2006, Guinness World Records spokeswoman Amarilis Espinoza said in London.

Bao in China said that although he was only pegged at 2.37 metres he was slouching at the time and his true height is the same as, or greater than his Ukrainian rival.

Judges have decided that they will declare a winner depending on who can toss the "little guy" the furthest.......................!
