Are these Calculations correct?

What next? Can we guess their weight? Maybe their blood type?

Hahaha, Jonathan, you crack me up. Well, I've had enough contact with John S. that I would guess he's about 6'1". Bob is probably about the same. The other guys probably range from 5'10' to 6'1". Greg isn't 6'4" or 6'5", he's not a giant.

Your right about Greg sorry, I went and looked at the picture with him and me and he is as tall as I am, I thought he was taller than me, I guess it was just my imagination.

I don't think any human has ever reached the height of 8 feet 11 inches without suffering from the disease known as "Gigantism". "Andre' The Giant" suffered from this disease, but was remarkable in the fact that unlike most sufferers, he remained co-ordinated enough to be a professional wrestler. And despite his rather short life, it was longer than that of most "giants".
The tallest man ever documented was Robert Pershing Wadlow, who reached a height of 8'11.1.
(This is what 8'11 looks like next to a normal person.) He lived only 22 years.
So, I'm pretty sure these calculations are not entirely accurate.
