The Nephilim Gland
This is a really tall guy. He claims its God's punishment, though I never heard of God punishing anyone by making them tall. Apparently this guy is on his way to being the tallest man in history. The article cites the tallest man in history as being 8'11, so my assumption is that they are referring to Goliath. I'm not actually convinced he was the tallest man in history, I would actually be more inclined to think that the giants in Genesis were taller, or at least that with so many of them the odds would be in favor of one being taller than Goliath.
"There were giants [nephilim] on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown." Genesis 6:4
So really it is possible that the nephilim and the children of the sons of God could have been taller than Goliath. Still, as far as documented height is concerned, I guess Goliath takes the cake. I wonder if this guy will ever stop growing. And, if he doesn't, how tall will he get? Will growing too tall kill him? If it was the result of accidently messing with the pituitary gland, have we opened the way for a dangerous new fad? Hehe...for instance, people my height (5'3 1/2) wanting to be as tall as supermodels. Or people with really big egos that was bodies to match!
