Adam Rainer – The Only Man On Earth Who Was Dwarf And Giant In The Same Life

Adam Rainer was born to a couple of average height in 1899, in Graz, Austria. When the World War 1 broke out in 1914, Adam was not allowed to join the army as he was too short and weak for his age.

He was only 4 ft 6 inches tall. A year later he tried again, but was rejected because he had grown only 2 inches tall. At the age of nineteen, Adam stood 4 feet 8 inches tall.

He was 2 inches short of normal height and was claimed as a dwarf. Though Adam was short he had comparatively long hands and large feet.

From the age of 21, everything started changing for Adam. At this stage in life when people stop growing, Adam began growing at an alarming pace. He grew from 4ft 10 inches to 7 feet 1 inch over a decade.

A man who had a height below the average in his twenties was now closer to the tallest man in history, only about a feet and 2 inches short. But the sad part was that at the same time Adam developed a severe curvature of the spine.

Why did This Happen?

An extensive research was been carried out on Adam. During the period in 1930-1931, doctors found that Adam was suffering from a condition called as acromegaly.

This was caused by a tumor on his pituitary gland, which led to an overproduction of growth hormones in his body. This was the reason behind his strange appearance. Rainer had large hands and feet. He also had a protruding forehead and jaw, as well as thick lips set over widely-spaced teeth.

Doctors operated Rainer’s pituitary gland and removed the tumor. The surgery was partially successful, Rainer was still growing but at a slower pace. For his remaining life Adam continued to grow and his health began deteriorating.

He became blind in his right eye and suffered hearing loss in his left ear. His worsening spinal curvature confined him to bed.

Rainer passed away at the age of 51 and at a height of 7’10”. He is the only person in human history that has been able to call himself a dwarf and a giant in the same lifetime.

The sad story of Adam Rainer remains as a strange case in medical history.

not selling anything bro

I know if you are like me and do not skip your daily dose of red pills to constantly remind yourself the manipulative and self serving nature of most women, you may feel empathy for some men who come here to complain about what they are going through in the hands of women.

....please don't, cos if you do you'll go through heart break again and again and again, don't feel bad for them because some of them choose to remain ignorant, your knowledge is freedom enjoy it and don't let another man's folly put you in a rage, just pray he learns from his mistakes.

crackkhaus:
This is a very faulty argument and as much as I don't get in on the virgin/non-virgin discussions on this forum, I always have a good laugh anytime someone comes up with explanations like you just did, in an attempt to counter the virginity proponents.

You see, whether or not a virgin will still end up lose is really not the point.
The point is that it's much better to be safe than sorry.

It's like telling someone that there's nothing wrong in buying a tokunbo car instead of a used car, because all cars will develop faults at some point during use when in fact, the chances of a used car developing faults sooner is much more probable in comparison to a brand new car.

Do you understand?

I understand your analogy, and I agree it's safer, but it's not enough reason to have poor bedroom performance just because you think she can't tell the difference...tokunbo isn't better, but if you don't maintain your tear rubber,....it's going to turn into something else real fast.

BlowYourMind:
I don't expect a virgin at marriage to be as senseless as you, all the years they kept their virginity was not by you.

what you expect is irrelevant to what is realistic, I expect Buhari to be a good president, you see where I'm going with this?

pryme:
Are you willfully blind?

i hope not, are you?

You have to remember that this age of smart phones, your Virgin wife may stumble unto porn or even intentionally visit to see what's up.

As a born again Christian who is meant to speak the truth at all times, i think this amoketun issue is being hypocritically blown out of proportion to expand hatred for other tribes especially the Fulanis. Why must we Christians be the brain behind the vast support for Amotekun when the Nigerian constitution is clear about the roles of the armed forces and police in the security of the country? Why must we form an ethnic militia to target fellow Nigerians when the constitution guarantees freedom of movement and doing business nationwide as long as we are Nigerians? What we fail to realize is that the south east cheering on Amotekun sees its as a synonym for their biafra agitations and they will rather support anything that will disband the relative peace and unity of Nigeria. The IPOB sympathizers will be the one to cry wolf when Amotekun starts targeting their tribesmen who commits various crimes in the south west. MURIC recently condemned the killing of a CAN pastor and sympathized with we Christians, how many Christians will condemn the killing of an imam or Muslims? Instead we rejoice when tragedy strikes them forgetting we are all humans before religion. Instead of emulating our Muslim brothers who have remained silent on this issue of Amotekun, we Christians are disturbing the cyberspace with hypocritical comments. Amotekun will never see the light of the day as long as we remain one Nigeria. It's a bad policy and a tribalistic security outfit aimed at persecuting other Nigerians. On behalf of we Christians, i condemn Amotekun. Let's learn to live in peace and harmony

constant repetition of we Christians gave you out, you are not a Christian,....most likely a Fulani

Just give me 50k make me and my goons come rob you for night as prank, we go tell you say we go come tomorrow too, when she hear that one nobody go tell am..


Or better still give am the 100k make she vamps, she no go even think am sef,cos obviously you don't care about her feelings if you are bringing in a fake main chick.

mamaafrik:
just listen to yourself North dealt with SE,nothing happened,Dealt with SS Nothing happed but Yoruba deal a Security network,all the Northern strong men start fidgeting,who command the fear,that is not even the matter,i Need a common and one South not 3 South,that is the deal.

delusions of grandeur

mamaafrik:
they will flush who,yoy are dumb,why do you think the Fulanis are being careful??,you think they won't have sent in army if Amotekun was to be a SS or SE thing.
Nigeria will be gone if they dare do that,SW fought the military to a standstill,who will Buhari con be,even Tinubu will have no choice than to sit straight and speak the voice of the people,xcept he wants to play with his life.

don't deceive yourself please. Yes they're being careful not to send in the army not because they fear the Yoruba's, NO! But because they would now have two enemies, the Igbo and Yoruba....do you think of the igbos are in support of the north you'd even make noise, they'll decend on you knowing the igbos would not defend your people.....was it not babangida who said if he woke up and heard the Yoruba's beating the drum of war, he'll just go back to sleep.

Osagyefo98:
She far old and educated to tag anybody enemy.

She doesn't have such time.

Only village parents that their son reads news for them will do and it seems likely your mother falls in here your stepfather inclusive.

boring attempt at a clapback.

Osagyefo98:
My submission is not against what Tinubu stands to gain or his stand on Amotekun but clearly a trajectory one.

In Nigeria context and In Nigeria agenda everybody needs to be cautious in dealing exclusively with one another and in dire cases the highest you can do is to support what is constitutionally right and that places you on neutral ground.

Very shameful Igbos has carried the pro-amotekun on head as if the issue will directly take off or even think of breeding off. In their zone which we all know is dead on arrival.


You keep telling anyone who cares to listen that fulani is the enemy and all sort of bla bla bla and that you are not the enemy and we must deal with the enemy and all sorts of gibberish even when the matter of discourse has nothing to do with you.


A right thinking human being will hold the rest of mankind same way he holds himself. Been selective on issues is clearly a bad idea, very myopic and only shows a bitter mind.


It either you remain neutral or you support what is right in the law as your constitution allows it so far you in such diversity of a country or you propose for the right law be made to accommodate all sectors.


But moving about cyberspace shouting fulani is the enemy, we must ally to deal with them. They are holding us down.


Then in one sentence who is then your friend?


View everybody equally and stop behaving like old women.

how old is your mother?

When I and my "friends" from other tribes sit down to drink or something... They somehow steer the conversation to where they'll want to hear my opinion on my people's struggle to achieve Biafra...

when I tell them I'm in support of the struggle and I hope we get it peacefully and diplomatically, they proceed to tell me how igbos hate each other and are not United and so won't make a prosperous country...

and I always respond by telling them that quarrel/fight between brothers won't last long and can be settled quickly more than fight with people of different blood, language and tradition.........

my question to them remains : why the sudden care about the "unitedness" of the igbo people in their own country, when you have relegated them to second class citizens in Nigeria, and you don't care about how "not United" they are in Nigeria... This hypocrisy disgusts me.

Caught between hating the igbos and their sudden dislike for the north.... A sad time to be Yoruba, like a sheep cornered....no friend...the people you love to hate are stretching a hand of support...but ego and pride won't let them accept.
