The big boy is ... the newborn baby

The teenager is now 18, and wants to be recognized as the world's lowest man. Khagendra Thapa Magar, a Nepali, is only 56 centimeters tall, slightly better than an infant.

NYdailynews said that the Magar people had tried to nominate him with the Guinness Foundation four years ago, but were told that he was too young and could continue to grow.

Now, according to the family, this 4.5 kg lad is 18 years old and is an "adult", so they hope he will be recognized as the smallest man.

However, it takes time for the Guinness World Records experts to measure his height, and insists he has stopped growing.

Currently the lowest man record belongs to 21-year-old He Pingping in China, only 73.6 cm tall.

However, according to Times Online , last Thursday, representatives of the Guinness World Organization said, it is not possible to give the title to Magar, because according to the Nepalese calendar, the standard calendar is given, he was born on October 4, 1992 is new for 17 years, 11 days.
