Culture Buzz Meet Chandra Bahadur Dangi, the 72-year-old Nepalese man who will soon be named world's shortest at 22-inches. Here's a pictorial travelogue of the journey from his remote village to Kathmandu, where he will be measured by Guinness World Records to claim the title of World's Shortest Man. UPDATE: Guinness has made it official…Mr. Dangi is indeed The World's Shortest Man.
His name is Edward Nino Hernandez and he's 24 years old, 27 inches tall, and weighs 22 lbs. His reign is to be short lived, however, as the world's shortest teen (Khagendra Thapa Magar of Nepal who is 22 inches tall) is set to turn 18 on October 14th.
Culture Buzz He Pingping, the world's shortest man, passed away today at the age of 21. If anyone taught us that being short wasn't a disability, it's Pingping. Rest in peace little man, rest in peace. This is for you.
This video is supposed to be about the world's shortest man going to work… But it's not. It's pretty much a video of him smoking a bunch of cigarettes, and that, in and of itself, is quite the sight.
