Tallest Recorded Man Ever
The tallest man in medical history who was documented and certified was Robert Pershing Wadlow who was born in Illinois in the USA on 22 February 1918. When he last measured on June 27, 1940 he was 2.72 m (8 ft 11.1in) tall. Wadlow died 15 July 1940 in a hotel in Michigan because of a blister on his right ankle caused by a brace which had been improperly fitted.  He is the tallest man ever because no one beaten his height record yet with the tallest man living today being only 8 ft, 3 in tall.



Largest Playing Card Structure
The largest playing card structure was made by a US citizen named Bryan Berg in Macau, China on March 10, 2010 and was a replica of The Venetian Macao and  was 10.39 m (34 ft 1.05 in) long, 2.88 m (9 ft 5.39 in) tall and 3.54 m (11 ft 7.37 in) wide. The structure took him 44 days to complete and took 218,792 cards to make.

Reflection:
-I am interested in this world record because I cannot even build a small pyramid with cards so I think that this one is really incredible.
- I would want to break a world record but I would want to break one that  not bad like most tattoos but another one like tallest card stack or something cool that’s difficult.




Most One Handed Pushups
The record for the most one arm push-ups completed in one hour is 1,868 and was set by Paddy Doyle in the United Kingdom at the Munster Arms Hotel in Sparkbrook on  November 27,1993
