World’s Tallest and Shortest Men Meet Face-(Not)-to-Face
Here's the long and short of it:
The world's tallest and shortest men met Thursday in London to help Guinness celebrate its 60th birthday.
Sultan Kosen, 31, of Turkey, stands 8-feet-3-inches tall, while Chandra Bahadur Dangi, 75, of Nepal, is 1-foot-7-inches tall.
Ironically, Kosen says the two men have a lot in common:
Even though he is short and I am tall, we have had similar struggles throughout our lives and, when I look into Chandra's eyes, I can see he's a good man."
Of course, he needs a telescope to look in his eyes, but you get the point.
