      You can just put the semantics aside. Yes, this man existed and he is a GIANT. By definition

      I saw Bol Bol once on the street and he’s like 7′ 3. Absolutely by far the tallest person I’ve ever seen. This guy is almost 2 feet taller than that.

      I’ve heard that at the time of his death at age 22, he was *still growing*… If not for that fatal infection, he surely would have cracked 9′.

      So when people say “an 8 foot tall Sasquatch” this is what you have to envision.

      If these images were released today, there would be a pages long thread on Reddit about how you can tell these are AI.

      He’s about to take a tour of Menelaus “Pappy” O’Daniel’s flour production facilities right after this rendition of ‘You are my sunshine’ by the Wharvey Gals

      Well, I can tell you my “Where’s Wadlow” children’s book series was a huge failure.

      I wonder how much he had to eat each day, must have been expensive. Especially during those times.

      Was actually taller:  8′ 11.1″   Don’t rob the man! You forgot that some of us read the Guinness book world records religiously when we were kids
