World's tallest man meets the shortest

[GeraldFord]

In terms of height they are worlds apart.

The world's tallest man, Bao Xishun today shook hands with He Pingping who claims to be Earth's shortest.

But these two men actually hail from the same region of Inner Mongolia.


World's tallest man sweeps bride off her feet at traditional Mongolian wedding


Bao Xishun, a herdsman from Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, was recently married in a traditional ceremony to a 28-year-old saleswoman from his hometown. At 5ft 6" Xia Shujian only comes up to his elbow and is half his age.



He claims he was of normal height until he was 16 when he experienced a growth spurt and reached his present height seven years later.

Mr Xishun was confirmed as the tallest person by the Guinness Book of Records last year.


Mr Pingping was born nearby in Wulanchabu city, Inner Mongolia. His father claims he was only the size of an adult's palm at birth.

He is now seeking to be registered as the world's shortest man by the Guinness Book of Recrods. He could be in for a disappointment though. While Mr Pingping is 73cms tall, the current holder of the title Lin Yih-Chih was measured as 67.5cm.

shhhhhh!!! Shut up man you really want another reality show on FOX?

lol thats kinda funny with that little dude and the big dude

HELL YES! Reality show definitely. 

Here's the premise......the little one sits on this type of back saddle placed on the shouldars of the tall one.  The little one is the evil mastermind and the tall one is like the dumb goon type.  Sort of like a real life Pinky & the Brain.  Anyhow they go around Mongolia trying to destroy the Great Wall of China (ala South Park).

Nah, I'm tired of reality shows, I'd prefer an 80s style sitcom -- Giant man gets reunited with his penis.? They share an apartment with Suzanne Somers and Joyce DeWitt.? Hilarity ensues.

[SLCPUNK]

I like the little guy's bow tie.

Or get this morbid twist of a show!? It could be called "Stem Hell" and it would revolve around the small one being the embryonic fetus clone of the large one.? They could have been in the process of cloning the giant and then President Bush steps in and rages war against the Mongolians for allowing embryonic stem cell research.? The clone stays small like that because he was never fully completed and now he teams up with the giant to destroy the conservative right of the US.? Meanwhile a group of friends similar to the Gilmoure Girls keep the giant and the dwarf hidden in the states and bore them to death with meaningless banter and dress him up in little outfits like the one with the bow tie and call him Mr. Belvadere!

It would be like the West Wing meets Tales From the Crypt meets The Gilmoure Girls all rolled into one half hour on the Sci-Fi network.

that tells more about you then it would be a good tv show.. it would be the worst ever.. first of all the fattest people can't move they just lay in bed.. second it would be discriminating.. go watch big brother instead
