Hello everyone! Fun facts! 1. The tallest man ever recorded was American giant Robert Wadlow (1918–1940), who stood 8 feet 11 inches. 2.The Four Corners is the only spot in the US where you can stand in four states at once: Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. 3. Canada is south of Detroit (just look at a map). :) Have a nice day!~Victoria
