My dad’s taller than yours

The world’s tallest man is also the proudest. Bao Xishun, aged 57 and 2.36 meters, visited his new-bornson at the People’s Hospital in Zunhua in north China’s Hebei Province, where his wife Xia Shujuan gave birth to their first child yesterday. Bao, a livestock herder in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, is listed as the world’s tallest man in the 2009 edition of “Guinness World Records.”
