September 7, 2006: World's smallest boy
 Ibram finds this item. The laddie on the left is Khagendra Thapa Magar. He's fourteen. Born and lives in Nepal. He's 20 inches (50 cm) high and weighs 10 pounds (4.5 kg).  Unfortunately the Guinness people have declined to put him in the Book, saying that he has to wait four more years until age 18, when he can qualify as the world's smallest man. His father hopes to raise money by touring the lad around Nepal. full story story denying him the Guinness entry

I feel sorry for the boy on the right.
All he's heard all these years is how special Khagendra is, and why couldn't he be more like his brother and earn the family some money instead of growing and growing.....

Yup, the boy on the right looks none too happy. I see therapy bills in his future!

Are we pretty sure the boy on the right isn't actually his dad? It would explain a lot...

His Dad could take him (the kid on the right) around to "raise money" for being the world's most depressed looking boy. Why don't they just join the circus?

OK, since no one else has said it, I will...
"What the $@#%! do they need to raise money for? It's not like he's gonna be eating much. And he can wear doll clothes!" (I been wondering this since I first read about this kid.) |
