World’s Shortest Man Denied Title

by Earl Morningstarr

Guinness World of Records have refused to acknowledge Khagendra Thapa Magar as the World’s Shortest Man as they say he is still too young to claim the title.

According to Guinness Magar is still only 17 years old and there is some kind of discrepancy regarding the Nepali calendar.

“We are in possession of Khagendra’s birth registration certificate, his certification of Citizenship and his identity card. On the Nepali calendar, Khagendra was born on Asoj 18, 2049 which equates to 4 October 1992. This makes him 6,220 days old (as of today, 15 October 2009) or 17 years 11 days.” Guinness wrote on their website.

“We are once again in touch with Khangendra and his family and have asked for re-confirmation of his birthday, on the off chance that there has been some misunderstanding. We are very excited to learn of this little Nepalese claimant and have been for a few years now. But until we can clear up the discrepancy, the holder of the title of world’s smallest mobile man remains with He Pingping.”

Looks like little Magar will just have to wait another year, providing he doesn’t grow another 17cm in the meantime.
