John Rogan

**John William "Bud" Rogan** (18 February 1868/1867 – 11 September 1905; some sources indicate 1867, and 1871 as his birth year) was an American man who was recorded as the second-tallest person ever, behind only Robert Wadlow. Rogan is also the tallest African American in history.

## Biography

John Rogan was born in Hendersonville, Tennessee, USA. He was the son of the former slave William Rogan, as the fourth of twelve children. John began to grow very rapidly at the age of 13, due to gigantism. This led to ankylosis (abnormal rigidity of the skeletal joints). By 1882, he could not stand or walk.

Although he could not perform physical labor due to his condition, Rogan made a living by selling portraits and postcards at a train station. An 1897 article in the *Kansas City Journal* mentions that a number of his drawings were published. Despite his success in this regard, he declined all offers to join carnivals and sideshows. By 1899, he had grown to a height of 8 ft 6 in (2.59 m) and often appeared in newspapers, referred to as the "negro giant". He used a cart like a wheelchair; it was pulled by goats. He was always the center of attention, often noted for his deep voice and playful attitude. Rogan died at the age of 37 on September 12, 1905, due to complications from his ankylosis. It is said however that John was buried under concrete with rocks to prevent doctors from taking his body away for study and avoid grave robbers.
Rogan's hands measured 11.5 in (29 cm) in length and his feet measured 13.7 in (35 cm) in length. He grew to 8 ft 6.5 in (2.60cm) tall. but weighed only 176 pounds (79 kg). Rogan is the tallest person of African descent, and remains the second tallest person on record. Robert Wadlow was 20 years old when his height surpassed Rogan's. In an old newspaper article, it is said that his Maternal Grandfather was also a giant, requiring a larger saddle when he rode horses, hinting at the possible genetic inheritance to John.

## Grave

The area is the current burial point is believed to be on the old Rogana farm lands. Evidence suggests that he was in fact buried there as previous rumors suggest they took him back to their place after his death and buried him in an unmarked grave, covering him in a cement vault.

浮空都市

第四维度的浮空都市由75座以巴别塔为中心的浮空城市共同组成。其中，仍旧正常运作的有62座，另外13座浮空城市因故坠落海平面成为废城。

 62座仍旧在运行的浮空城市沿着既定的轨道行进。按照巴别塔政府的官方公告，这条轨道能够保证每一座浮空城市在一个运转周期之中，能够同除自己之外的61座浮空城市均进行不少于3天的近距离沟通。

  不同的浮空城市具有不同的特点。巴别塔是整个浮空城市的政治和经济中心，它是运行距离最短的浮空城市。由于自身得天独厚的历史条件，巴别塔的全年运行距离仅3700公里。距离巴别塔最近的浮空城市·萨波耶，是除却巴别塔之外的第二大经济中心。但是同巴别塔相反，萨波耶全年的运行距离高达310.76万公里，几乎占据全部浮空城市运行里程之和的三分之二。巴别塔和萨波耶一年之中最近的距离为50公里，周期为3天。这一期间，两座浮空城市之间的交流活动将达到峰值，因此这三天也一直是政治和经济界相当重要的三天。

 除却巴别塔和萨波耶，还有具有“文艺之舟”别称的梵瑛、“巨人之国”的卜洛芬奇等等一系列富有特色的浮空都市。若对此方面想要更进一步的了解，请参阅星骁教授所著《天空的心脏：浮空都市》一书。

Richard Watterson (EvilDarkSpiketheMaster)

Richard's stance

EvilDarkSpiketheMaster's Richard Watterson (from the Cartoon Network series The Amazing World of Gumball) is a character that was made at an unknown date. It might've been the first version of the character made for the engine.

## Known Info

Not much is really known about the character. Like the other versions of Richard made for M.U.G.E.N, it uses sprites ripped from Beanfan112's Nicole Watterson (which in turn were edited from sprites made by Jarquin10), though it has a noticeable blue outline. The character was supposedly a spriteswap according to Jenngra505, but it is unknown what it was a spriteswap of.

## Search Efforts

It was in Moltar's The Amazing World of Gumball collection, being posted about by Jenngra505, which provided its link on 4shared, a link that has since been broken. Jenngra505's post also confirms the character was at least released no later than 2016, but it was likely released no earlier than 2013, when Beanfan's Nicole was released. It is unlikely jenngra505 still has the character, though given his relatively active Discord server, it might be possible to ask him. Asking is possibly more likely, as it has lead to the discoveries of formerly-lost characters, such as SLK's "Patrick and his house" and D10D10D10's Homers.

Stadnyk's excessive growth began after brain surgery at the age of 14, after which he developed a pituitary gland tumor that caused the gland to secrete large amounts of growth hormone. This resulted in what doctors describe as acromegalic gigantism. Twenty years after the surgery, the doctors discovered the tumor had mysteriously disappeared and he was currently healthy. He reportedly wore US size 25 shoes. Although he held the title for a month, Stadnyk, having no interest in being in any record book, refused to be measured, ending his GWR recognition.

**Walter Straub** **Gulliver** (21 July 1925 - 20 February 1986) was a German man who, at 236cm, was the tallest German to ever live and the tallest German during his life. He was also sometimes named as ''Der Lange Dunninger''. He weighed 276 lb (125 kg) at the time of his death.

## Early life

Straub was born as the son of Anton Straub and Emma née Graf at Schrambergerstrale 15. He attended elementary school until he was 12 years old at 1937.

He was of normal height, but then he started to grow a lot and by the time he was 15, he was already 180cm (5'10'')! In his last school year, he needed shoe size 48 and then later needed size 52 shoes. For meals, he always needed to eat the amount that 2 people would otherwise eat. At this time, he needed about 5 meters (16'4.8'') of fabric for a suit.

He had three brothers of completely normal size: Eugen, Erwin, and Hertha Straub.

## World War II

After reaching the age of 22, his height was starting to slow down, but Straub still grew a few centimeters until he had became 2.32 meters (7'7'.3''), making him the tallest German at the time. His extraordinary growth was from. you guessed it, a malfunction in the pituitary gland causing excessive amounts of growth hormone.

During an air raid in the Second World War, Walter and his parent's house were hit and mostly destroyed. While Straub's mother died, Walter was shaken for about 150 minutes and had to spend 3 weeks in the hospital with a spinal column injury.

## Later life

At this time, Straub had to wear size 58 shoes that costed at about 900 Deutschmarks (about 520 dollars), and needed between 5 and 6.5 meters of fabric for a suit. It costed over 1000 Deutschmarks (about 580 dollars). His state of health was not particularly bad, supporting the fact that he did not do any physical work in agriculture or a factory.

That's why he followed the requests of circuses, variety shows and department stores to earn his living as an advertising man, because wherever the giant performed, he caused a stir. For a long time he traveled through Germany with the Horsch circus, and also with the "Martin Circus" in Switzerland. He also worked as an advertising man at various department stores and at the Variete Wolf in Zurich. He also had to give up this job for health reasons.

Sandy Allen

**Sandra Elaine Allen** was an American woman recognized once, by the Guinness World Records as the tallest living woman in the world. She was 7 feet 7.5 inches (232 cm) tall.

## Biography

Allen wrote a book, *Cast A Giant Shadow*. Although over the years other women have taken the title of the tallest woman, Allen held it for the last sixteen years of her life. Her height was due to a tumor in her pituitary gland that caused it to release growth hormone uncontrollably, between 200 to 1,000 times the rate of normal amount. She grew up in Shelbyville, Indiana, and was raised by her grandmother, who worked as a cleaning woman. At the age of 22, in 1977, she underwent surgery for the condition. Lacking this procedure, Allen would have continued to grow and suffer further medical problems associated with gigantism.

She appeared in *Fellini's Casanova*, in the TV movie *Side Show*, and in a Canadian/American documentary film, *Being Different*. The New Zealand band Split Enz wrote a song about her, "Hello Sandy Allen," released on their 1982 album *Time and Tide*. Allen never married, saying that she was "an oldfashioned girl" and would not date a man shorter than her.

In later years Allen used a wheelchair because her legs and back could no longer support her tall stature while standing. At one point, she was bedridden due to disease, causing atrophy of the muscles. Due to this limitation, she spent her last years in Shelbyville, Indiana, in the same retirement center as Edna Parker, the oldest living human at the time.

Allen died on August 13, 2008. Her family friend, Rita Rose, revealed that she suffered from a recurring blood infection, along with Type 2 diabetes, breathing troubles, and kidney failure.

A scholarship was dedicated in Allen's name at Shelbyville High School.

In 2020, Allen's friend and manager, John Kleiman, donated a collection of her memorabilia to Ripley's Museums.

Guinness World Records

**Guinness World Records (GWR) ;** from 1955 to 1999 as ***The Guinness Book of Records*** and in previous United States editions as ***The Guinness Book of World Records***, is a reference book published annually, listing world records both of human achievements and the extremes of the natural world. The brainchild of Sir Hugh Beaver, the book was co-founded by twin brothers Norris and Ross McWhirter in Fleet Street, London, in August 1955.

For many decades (since 1956), GWR had a section about Tallest People, keeping track of tallest people.

The first edition topped the best-seller list in the United Kingdom by Christmas 1955. The following year the book was launched internationally, and as of the 2022 edition, it is now in its 67th year of publication, published in 100 countries and 23 languages, and maintains over 53,000 records in its database.

The international franchise has extended beyond print to include television series and museums. The popularity of the franchise has resulted in *Guinness World Records* becoming the primary international authority on the cataloguing and verification of a huge number of world records. The organisation employs record adjudicators to verify the authenticity of the setting and breaking of records.

La insensibilidad del abandono de mascotas.

Las personas que residen en este planeta van de mal a peor ¿Por qué me refiero así a mi especie?; la verdad es que es muy alarmante ver a familias que abandonen a un indefenso animalito que no tiene la culpa de haber nacido y en ocasiones nos preguntamos ¿Por qué se dará este cruel acontecimiento? e incluso nos imaginamos que aquellas personas no tienen aflicción hacia ellos. Según las encuestas que se fueron realizando podemos apreciar que la mayoría de personas que se deshacen de los animales son por que han tenido mascotas hembras y estas salen preñadas, por consiguiente, van provocando la llegada de camadas no deseadas, sin embargo, ahí ciertos individuos que se aprovechan de esta situación y se benefician al momento de venderlos, pero solo lo hacen si son de raza.

NOTE: This list also include some giants, who are listed as verified, on List of Tallest People, but because there isn't a lot of about their exact height, so they got included also there.

He received news media attention in 1939 (also before), when he was measured to be the tallest man in the world beating John Rogan's record, after turning to height of 8 ft 9 in (267 cm).

As a general rule, females are shorter than males, the tallest verified female was Zeng Jinlian from China (1964-1981) who was 8 ft 1 in (246 cm).

Kentucky Giant

**The Kentucky Giant** (c. 1854 - 1877), was an American giant, whose height is verified. Not much info is known about The Kentucky Giant, apart from the fact that he was a native of Kentucky, U.S.A. In 1877, professor Joseph Leidy was informed by professor A. E. Foote that a body of a giant was offered for sale, provided no questions were asked which might lead to its identification. Arrangements were soon made by Dr. William Hunt and the body was transferred to Philadelphia where the skeleton was prepared and mounted by Mr. R. H. Nash. The skeleton is now on display in the Mutter Museum of the college of physicians of Philadelphia. Tha age of the giant when he died was estimated to be between 22 and 24 years old, and his corrected height to 7 ft 9 in (236.2cm), according to HeightDetective.

## The Kentucky Giant - who is he?

The identity of the Kentucky Giant is still unknown. If it is a giant we already know about, than Jim Porter might be the best candidate to be the Kentucky Giant, although he was in his 50's when he died.

Another great candidate could be John M. Baker. He died at 24 years old, lived in Kentucky, and, according to news articles, his height was 7 ft 5 in (226cm) in shoes. That's a few inches difference to the giant, but maybe he just wasn't measured properly.

Joshua Ladu

A "Giant" named Joshua Ladu appeared on the internet in November of 2021 in an image that was circulating on social media. That supposedly showed a 9 ft 8 (295cm) man being Joshua Ladu, who had just been named by the "Guinness Book of World Records" as the tallest man in the world. But there was one problem the photo was not real. As it has just been stretched as you can see in figure 1. Figure 1 is the edited version of him but in figure 2 it's the unedited version of him. This makes the giant Joshua Ladu a hoax as proven by the media

He, who lived in the Zarqan functions of Fars province in the early 20th century in Lepui, also suffered from physical and mental retardation and proteus syndrome. He may have been reached the height of 8 ft 6 in (259cm).

## Biography

Siah Khan was born in 1913 in the village of Lapui, in the Zarghan district of Fars province.
He grew normally until the age of six, but after than, he grew rapidly. His family migrated to Shiraz due to Siah Khan's poverty and physical problems, and earned money by displaying their large and unusual child in the streets.
At the end of September 1920, he was rented for some time by a person named Khoshorkhan for 6,000 Tomans to be exhibited in Tehran. Dr. Ghorban, the founder of the Shiraz Medical School, found him in 1931 and provided him with financial and medical support. When he was taken to the hospital, Siah Khan was hospitalized for the rest of his life and eventually died of pneumonia and sepsis in 1938. But his real birth and death date are said to be 1912-1940. And His skeletal remains are now on public display in a glass case at Shiraz’s Medical School. According to them, his skeleton measures 8 ft 6 in (259cm), which may be possible.

## Height

Siah Khan often claimed 10 ft 6 (320 cm) and 11 ft 10 (361 cm) which if true would have made him easily the tallest person to ever live even dwarfing Robert Wadlows height of 8 ft 11.09 (272 cm) but Siah Khan was later measured in 1933 by his doctors at 7 ft 2.5 (220 cm) and may have been later grew to 8 ft 6 in making him the most exaggerated giant ever and the tallest Persian ever. His arms measured 3 ft 10.06 in (117 cm) long and his legs measured 4 ft 1.25 in (125 cm) long and his skull weighed 0.89 st (5.7 kg) and couldn't stand due his head being too heavy for him. His exact height measurements were confirmed to be exactly 8 ft 6.15 in (259.46 cm)
