Patrons receive “Weird But True” a full month before anyone else! http://www.weirddarkness.com/support *** The tallest man who ever lived was born on this date, February 22, 1918 in the small Mississippi River town of Alton, Illinois. During his short, often sad, life, he gained international and lasting fame as the tallest man in history. Robert died tragically in 1940 at the age of only 22 but during those few years, he remained vigilant about being cast in the role of a “freak”. He only wanted acceptance and a normal life, but even when he was very young, he and his family realized that this would be nearly impossible.
