# Fyodor Makhnov

Fyodor Andreevich Makhnov (Russian: Фёдор Андре́евич Махно́в, also written as Feodor Machnow in contemporary sources) claimed to be the tallest person in the world, although his exact height and weight is unconfirmed.

## Biography

Fyodor Makhnov was born in 1878 in the village of Kostyuki Vitebsky Uyezd, then part of the Russian Empire (now in Belarus) to a poor peasant family.
As a young man in his twenties he toured Europe to exhibit his great height. After having spent time in Berlin he visited London in 1905 where he joined the Hippodrome accompanied by his wife and young child. He then toured the United States in 1906 where he met President Roosevelt as well as actor and fellow giant George Auger. Throughout his tour his promoters exaggerated his height, and he was usually accredited with a considerably inflated stature as high as 9 feet 3 inches (282 cm) and billed as "The Russian Giant." On the obelisk it is still possible to read: «Фёдор Андреевич Махнов. Родился 6 июня 1878 года. Умер 28 августа 1912 года. Самый высокий человек в мире. Ростом был 3 аршина 9 вершков» ("Fyodor Andreevich Makhnov. Born 6 June 1878. Died 28 August 1912. The tallest man in the world. His height was 3 arshins 9 vershoks [254 centimetres] tall"). Makhnov's wife, Efrosinya wanted to correct the incorrect figure on the monument, but could not do so because of the beginning of the First World War and then the Revolution of 1917.
Photographic evidence suggest that he was not any taller than 7 feet 10+1⁄2 inches (240.0 cm). This exaggeration may have been because he wore high hats, and tall boots which added a foot to his height. Although, if this was accurate, he would have been taller than Robert Wadlow, now cited as the world's tallest man.
Makhnov died in 1912 due to pneumonia, and likely complications of acromegaly. He was the father of four children, none of whom reached a height greater than two meters.

# Ed Currie

Ed Currie (born August 18, 1963) is a certified banger chili pepper breeder who is the founder and president of the PuckerButt Pepper Company. He is best known for breeding the Carolina Reaper which was the hottest chili pepper in the world until, in 2023, Pepper X, also bred by Currie, took over as the hottest chili pepper, as recognized by Guinness World Records.

## Background

Currie was born in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan. He graduated from Central Michigan University- "on the seven-year college plan" "drinking with the frat boys"- subsequently becoming a stockbroker; his first day of work after qualifying was Black Monday, when global markets collapsed. Having struggled with substance abuse as a "functional addict", in 1999 Currie contemplated suicide but instead went to rehab. He met his wife, Linda, at recovery meetings after moving back to his parents' hometown in South Carolina in 2001. Here he began growing his own peppers in the yard and experimenting with crossbreeds. He was featured in the episode "Chili Eating" in the 2020 Netflix documentary series We Are the Champions. He was also featured on Dirty Jobs.

## PuckerButt Pepper Company

Currie started the PuckerButt Pepper Company in Fort Mill, South Carolina, in 2003. The company sells peppers considered to be extremely hot. It sells seeds, pepper mash, and hot sauce. PuckerButt is the largest organic pepper farm in the US, with annual sales of around $1 million. Currie's hot sauce "The Last Dab" was created for the YouTube show Hot Ones. The show is an interview which asks guests to eat increasingly spicy hot wings, with "The Last Dab" being the spiciest sauce presented.
Currie crossbreeds his pepper plants by taking the pollen of one plant with a paintbrush and then delivering that pollen to a different plant. To create the Carolina Reaper, he took a Naga pepper, a chili pepper originally grown in India and Bangladesh, and combined it with the La Soufriere pepper from Saint Vincent. In 2013, Guinness World Records gave the title of "World's Hottest Chili" to the Carolina Reaper. On August 23, 2023, he was officially recognized as having broken the previous record when Guinness World Records certified his Pepper X as the hottest chili pepper on earth, measuring at 2.69 million SHU.

# Siru

Siru (Korean: 시루) is an earthenware steamer used to steam grain or grain flour dishes such as tteok (rice cakes), most notably siru-tteok. The siru is an earthenware steaming vessel that dates back to the late bronze age of the Korean northern peninsula and the use of the utensil spread to the entire peninsula by the time of the Three Kingdoms in which the popularity of siru-tteok grew. The siru is also used during shamanic rituals and is even offered on the tables for daegamsin (대감신; 大監神, state official God). The siru is not an everyday utensil but is one for preparing and serving the sacrificial dishes during rituals.
A siru consists of a handle, a body, and a bottom with holes, so that when placed above a fire, steam can easily reach the contents inside. The size of the bottom and the diameter of the siru is generally the same, and the size of the siru each have significance: large siru are for worshipping seongju (성주; 城主), the deity that protects the household, medium siru are for worshipping turju (터주; ─主), the deity that oversees the peace of the household, and small siru are used to steam white rice.
Besides earthenware, siru can be made with porcelain or bronze; earthenware is commonly used in the central region while ceramic siru is common in the south.

A right-hander, he has the relatively uncommon statistic of having a higher ODI than Test batting average. Strong through the covers and point, Ali was also exceptionally good at playing hook and pull shots against the fast bowlers.

## Cricket career
### Domestic career

Ali was a successful junior cricketer, at one time holding the record for most hundreds in a Karachi zonal league season.

### International career

He debuted for Pakistan aged 22 in March 1993, playing both ODI and Test cricket in a tour of the Caribbean. For similarities and batting styles and temperament, he was initially seen as the one who'd take the mantle of Javed Miandad. He went on to play in 19 Tests but made just the one Test century, against New Zealand in 1993–94.
An aggressive risk-taker, he was a regular in the Pakistani ODI side for a while in the mid-1990s. On 5 November 1993 he scored the then second-fastest One Day International century in history, with a 67 ball effort against the West Indies at Sharjah. He took 5 more balls as compared to the record of Mohammad Azharuddin who took 62 balls. Basit Ali finished on 127 not out. Waqar Younis was acting captain in that match.

## Coaching career

He has served as the head coach of the Pakistan A team.
He also served as the head coach of the Pakistan women team and the Under-19 team, being the chief selector of the Under-19 squad as well, but had to resign from these positions in December 2016, after he slapped former international cricketer Mahmood Hamid during a domestic tournament.
