"We found out that a Jordanian boy holds a record in the Guinness Book of World Records and he is 25.5 inches tall.

Fourteen-year-old Khagendra Thapa Magar weighs only 4.5 kilograms and will be taken on tour round Nepal to raise money for his upkeep, his father told AFP.
"We show him in exhibitions to collect fund for his education, health and future," said Rup Bahadur Thapa, his father.

thanks i also got the similar topic here http://www.xenomed.com/forums/genera...rtest-man.html

khagendra will have to wait for 4 more years as Guinness Book of World Records official says he is still in the growth phase as it is also evidenced that growth do occur beyond teenage and till early twenties.

since he is 14 years he need 4 more year that means if he doesn't show any growth or development in his height by 18 years of his age he will be listed as one of the shortest man in the world.

its so nice to hear that the shortest man in the world happens to be from nepal... but i wonder is his physiology is as ours or different? must be somehow different.... what may be the cause for his such strange status?

anyway, lets hope he gets appropriate treat, respects from everywhere, afterall he has brought our countrys name to fame.......

and really chetnarayanji, you can separate a nepali from nepal but not nepal from a nepalis heart...
