Oslo - The world's tallest living man has unveiled the world's largest gingerbread man at an Ikea outlet in Norway's capital, Oslo.

Guinness Book of World Records spokesperson Justine Bourdariat says 243cm tall Sultan Koesen of Turkey displayed the 651kg biscuit. Baked locally in the traditional gingerbread man shape, it beat the previous gingerbread cookie record of 592kg set in 2006 in Smithville, Texas.

Ikea spokesman Jan Thommesen says Guinness Book of World Records representative Kelly Gerret awarded the furniture store a world record diploma on Thursday as part of the publication's World Records Day.

Koesen was declared the tallest living man by the Guinness Book of World Records in September.

Nigel says... @marcousername The clock tower is part of our (British, that is)parliamentary heritage and, up until this announcement, had nothing to do with the monarchy (because since our civil war there has been a strong line between the monarch and parliament). You seem fairly anti the British monarchy and you are entitled to your opinion. But I've noticed from your comments that you have very little, if any, knowledge about it. So go off and read a few books, then come up with something sensible. Or just don't bother reading about it if it pisses you off so much. Read the article...
