1) The man that was midget and then giant
Adam Rainer, born in Austria in 1899, at the age of 18 years had just 1.38 meters, which is why he was refused to enlist in the army.
Although it was very short, the man had very large feet (43 masks) at 18 and continued to grow, so that at 19 he measure 1.43 m and he was wearing at shoes measure 53.
After a while, the man began to grow strangely fast, so between the ages of 21 and 32 reached the height of 2.18 meters.
Doctors found that the Austrian suffered from acromegaly, a tumor on the pituitary gland, which controls growth hormones.
He died in 1950 at the age of 51 years having the measure of 2.34 meters tall and was the only person in the world that has been classified as a midget and giant.
2) ‘Benjamin Button’ Brothers, brothers whose mind is getting younger

If a few years ago, one of them was working in the British air force and the other one ran a supermarket chain stores now, the two are only playing all day.
Many would say that the brothers ‘ have given in children’s minds’ but their disease is transmitted genetically and the daughter of one of them, pregnant now, worries that she could convey the strange condition.
