World’s Shortest Man Gets In Record Books

by Earl Morningstarr

After waiting a year to be officially recognised, He Pingping has finally been accepted into the Guinness Book Of World Records as the World’s Shortest Man standing at just 73 centimetres tall.

Pingping had to wait for official confirmation when independent adjudicators from the Guinness Book of World Records traveled to his home town Wulanchabu in China to measure the midget for themselves. He had already raised to fame after being featured on a Japanese television programme last year and also posing with one of the world’s tallest men Bao Xishun, another North Chinese freak.

Pingping suffers from Osteogenesis Imperfecta which prevents bone and tissue growth, and could fit in the palm of a man’s hand when he was first born!

Mr He has a fight on his tiny hands to keep his prestigious title though, Lin Yih-Chih of Taiwan is said to measure only 67.3 centimetres, a good two inches shorter than Pingping and is awaiting independent confirmation for his acceptance into the Guinness Book of Records. Another tiny chap from Nepal measures a meager 53 centimetres, but he will have to wait until he is 18 years old before he can be considered for application to the record books.
