One stands as tall as a red British
phone booth. The other is the height of six stacked cans of baked beans.
On Thursday, for the first time, the man with the tallest recorded height in the world and the shortest man in the world met at an event
in London, where they posed for photos and stretched for an awkward handshake.
The occasion was the 10th annual Guinness World Records Day, which celebrates record-setting achievements around the globe. The
Guinness folks flew the two men, Sultan Kosen of Turkey and Chandra Bahadur Dangi of
Nepal, to London for the unique photo op.
Kosen, 31, is a part-time farmer who measures 8 feet, 3 inches tall and can reach a basketball hoop without jumping . He became the world's tallest living man in 2009, overtaking China's Xi
Shun, who stood a mere 7 feet 9 inches. Dangi, 74, is just 21½ inches tall and is the
shortest adult human ever verified by Guinness
World Records. A weaver who also helps look after buffaloes and cows in his remote
mountain village of Reemkholi, he weighs just 32 pounds!
