    • A towering Turk was officially crowned the world's tallest man Thursday after his Ukrainian rival dropped out of the running by refusing to be measured.

      Guinness World Records said that 8 foot 1 inch (2.47 meter) Sultan Kosen, from the town of Mardin in eastern Turkey, is now officially the tallest man walking the planet. Although the previous record holder, Ukrainian Leonid Stadnyk, reportedly measured 8 feet 5.5 inches (2.57 meters), Guinness said he was stripped of his title when he declined to let anyone confirm his height.

      Stadnyk, 39, told The Associated Press he refused to be independently measured because he was tired of being in the public eye.

    • I wish him good luck in his search for love. I cannot imagine the suffering he has gone through, as a child, by being so different. Anyway, I wish him the best.
