Just a quick update to this thread.

On October 14th of last year, Khagendra Thapa Magar did indeed get listed as the world's shortest man in Guinness. He had grown about 6 inches since this IOTD.

But it was short lived. Last week, Junrey Balawing, turned 18 and knocked him off the throne. Junrey is only 1 ft 11 2⁄3 inches tall.

I want giant coke bottles, too!;)

No, you may not. You know you'd just cut the bottoms out of them, affix the bottoms to frames and sell them.

I always knew Coca-Cola was bad for you!(poison really) Now we have proof.

Hard to say, imagine how tiny he'd be if he hadn't drank all that coke?

The better to see you with....

Paris Hilton might adopt him.
She can pop him in her handbag with her tiny tiny dogs.

This category sees a lot of activity. It turns out that all along, there was a shorter dude.

1 foot 9.5 inches tall. That's over 2 inches shorter than the previous record holder! Chandra Bahadur Dangi is 72 years old. It makes you wonder if there is someone even shorter out there remaining to be discovered.

In this picture, it looks to me like he's squatting, but I suppose the officials at Guinness are careful about that, and that's just the way his legs are.

Pssst, Glatt.
It's not the man on the right they are measuring.

Oh! Well, that explains it.

The man on the far right does seem to have seen the oncoming Rapture though...
