Leonid Stadnyk sits by his house in the village of Podolyantsi in central Ukraine August 11, 2007. Being named the world's tallest man has meant very little for Stadnyk, scraping together a living with his mother in a tiny village. Guinness World Records gave the accolade to him last week. But Stadnyk is prouder of the present from local authorities on his 37th birthday – a bathroom with a shower tall enough to fit his 2.53-metre (8-foot, four-inch) frame.
