Nepal teen now world's shortest man - 26 inches (67 cm)

Guinness verifies the height measurement:

POKHARA, Nepal — A Nepalese fruit seller's son with the body of a toddler turned 18 on Thursday and was officially declared the world's shortest man by Guinness record officials.

Khagendra Thapa Magar measured in at 26.4 inches (67 centimeters), displacing the former record holder, Edward Nino Hernandez of Colombia, who measures 27 inches (70 centimeters).

He weighed only 1.3 pounds (600 grams) at birth.:o

"Mom, can I keep it?"

I do hope he wasn't standing at that angle when they measured him :P

I can't help but feel sorry for the guy. It's cool and all he was able to set a record, but aren't people that tiny known for having a very limited lifespan?

I have this picture in my head of the former worlds smallest man falling into deep depression and alcoholism because he is now a nobody. This tiny little man crying over a bottle of jack. :)xTheExploited

Does he have an adult brain? I don't mean it in a negative way, but he's the size of a baby.

I think the real issue here is can we still refer to a guy that's 26in tall as a man?

I've eaten stacks of pancakes taller than him...

"We are very proud of our son," said his father, Rup Bahadur Thapa Magar. "We have been finally recognized and our dreams have finally come true." What, exactly, was their dream?

""His body structure is like that of a small child and he also thinks and behaves in that manner," Hum Prasad Newpane said."

He must be very well-endowed.

It's a miracle he survived, being only 1 pound at birth.:o
