The Long and Short of it.

Remember Bao Xishun, the world's tallest man who specialises in retrieving objects from the throats of stricken dolphins? Here he is shaking hands with the splendidly named He Pingping, who is applying for the Guinness world record as the world's shortest man. Turns out they both come from the same region of Inner Mongolia. Small world, eh? Though obviously smaller for Bao Xishun than it is for He Pingping.
