Jesus, what a curse.

And I find it incredibly odd that the tallest man in world is *only* 7'8". Is it just that more giants are being cured at younger ages?

[/ QUOTE ]
yes, giants are often caused by tumors growing next to the pituitary(sp?) gland interefering with it and causing growth hormones to be continuously released to the body. This is how Goliath died, David hit him with the slingshot right between the eyes on the pituitary gland where it hemorraged(sp?) into the brain because of the tumor. It can be cured just by removing the tumor.

pituatiaury gland is at the base of the skull..... The theory is that gigantism can lead to problems with peripheral vision, allowing david to sneak up and deliver a fatal blow.
