I once encoutered a man who I swear was ten feet tall. I am not kidding.
I was in a 24 hour grocery store with a couple high school buddies buying toilet paper to go throw in the trees of some cute cheerleader or something when I saw man really oddly shaped super tall guy following what appeared to be his elderly mother. This guy did not look to be in great health, his face was kind of distorted and when I passed him in the isle, the top of my head came just over his belt line and I am about 5'6". He had to slouch his head to get under the signs that tell you what is in each grocery isle. He was wearing poorly fitting clothes that looked as if they were homemade. We bought our stash and waited to watch this guy contort to fill up the backseat of a full sized ford.
While I was amazed I could not help but feel sorry for the guy. He looked really uncomfortable, and he was huge. I don't think ten feet is an exaggeration, but I could only imagine that he did not like to go out much, and lived with his mother and just did not want to be seen because they were at the store so late. He had such a sad look on his face it was heartbreaking to look at the guy.
I never heard that this guy became famous or anything, but one day about six months later one of the popular radio shows had a topic on that day of "Has anyone seen THE TALL GUY?" People were calling in reporting sightings of this guy exactly as I described and acting as if he were bigfoot or something.

Kosen, 27, told reporters in London that he was looking forward to parlaying his newfound status into a chance at love.
"Up until now it's been really difficult to find a girlfriend," Kosen said through an interpreter. "I've never had one, they were usually scared of me. ... Hopefully now that I'm famous I'll be able to meet lots of girls. I'd like to get married."

I saw this on this on the news this morning. It reminded me of Matthew McGrory, the guy who played in Big Fish.
He lived in West Chester and actually bounced at a bar I used to frequent for a while.
He was huge!
