6. 29 inches tall...

Guinness World Records declared Pingping the smallest man alive in March 2008. Pingping measured in at 29 inches tall. The editor-in-chief of Guinness said these kind words about Pingping:

''From the moment I laid on eyes on him I knew he was someone special - he had such a cheeky smile and mischievous personality, you couldn't help but be charmed by him. He brightened up the lives of everyone he met, and was an inspiration to anyone considered different or unusual.''

7. Rest in peace Pingping, here is the potential candidate for the smallest man in the world

He's from Nepal and just travelled to London to confirm his size. He's even smaller than Pingping.



His name is Khagendra Thapa Magar, and stands at 22 inches tall.

18. hard not to smile at your post. Maybe Pingping would smile too.

They both would have had something in common.

15. brain aneurysms and stroke kill primordial dwarfs and unless you keep

up on the cat scans you could miss them.

17. Again with the jacked up title...just like last week..

"World's oldest woman has died"...

He isn't the smallest man anymore because unfortunately he died. Now somebody else out there is the "World's smallest man"....
