World's shortest man meets shortest woman

Chandra Bahadur Dangi and Jyoti Amge were born 54 years and hundreds of miles apart in different countries, but it was their height that brought them together. Dangi, the world's shortest male, and Amge, the world's shortest female, met for the first time in 2012 with a little help from Guinness World Records.

Amge, who lives in Nagpur, India, was named the shortest living woman at 24.7 inches on Dec. 16, 2011, just after turning 18. Dangi, 72, stands at 21.5 inches tall and was crowned the shortest man in Guinness' 57-year history in February. Prior to the announcement, the record-holder had never ventured far from his remote village of Rhimkholi, Nepal. (Link)

Mr. Pingping barely came up to Ms. Pankratova's knees at a bizarre photoshoot held to mark the launch of the 2008 Guinness Book of World Records. But the pair seemed rather happy in each other's company as they posed for photos on Trafalgar Square's steps in central London. (Link)
