On
Thursday, otherwise know as Guinness World Records Day 2014,
the world's tallest man and the worlds shortest man met for the very first time
in London!
Sultan
Kösen, a 31-year-old farmer from Turkey
who stands 8-foot-9, became the world's talent living man in 2009 per Guinness
World Records, taking the title from China's Xi Shun, who stood
7-foot-9.
As for the
shortest man ever? Chandra Dangi, a 71-year-old from Nepal, stands just
21.5 inches tall, which, according to Guinness, makes him about the same size
as six stacked cans of baked beans. Chandra is the shortest adult human ever to
have had their height verified by Guinness World Records, beating a benchmark
set by the late Gul Mohammed from India, who was 22.5 inches.
