1. thedailywhat: World’s Shortest Man of the Day: Chandra Bahadur Dangi, who petitioned Guinness World Records for recognition as the world’s shortest man, has won his bragging rights — and then some. Not only was the Nepalese man certified the shortest man alive — inching out previous record holder Junrey Balawing by two whole inches — but the 72-year-old, who stands 21.5 inches tall, is also officially the shortest man who ever lived, having snatched the title away from Gul Mohammed, who towers over Dangi by a full inch. “I’m continually amazed that this record keeps getting broken,” said Craig Glenday, Guinness World Records EIC at the certification ceremony. “Just when you think it’s impossible for the record to get any smaller, Mr. Chandra comes along and astonishes us all by being the shortest person ever measured.” The reason for Dangi’s diminutive stature has never been diagnosed, but, according to Guinness, he has never been examined by a doctor, so that might be why.
