  • Wirral, UK. - 1.4 Petrol Active - Aqua Blue

A Nepalese teenager whose tiny stature has made him a celebrity in his homeland entered the record books as the world's shortest man on Thursday as he celebrated his 18th birthday.
Khagendra Thapa Magar, who stands just 25.8 inches (65.5 centimetres) tall and weighs 5.5 kilos (12 pounds), takes over from 24-year-old Edward "Nino" Hernandez from Colombia, who is almost two inches taller.

I love that stuff... Tallest and shortest records are fascinating... Thanks Lester.. I'd heard about him but don't think I'd seen a photo before (think he looks quite a bit like the last record holder)  :razz:
