The smallest things in the world
Smallest man
A two foot inch tall Colombian has taken his place as the worldÂ’s shortest man.
Pocket Edward Hernandez – nicknamed Niño (meaning 'child') – took the accolade after the death of China's He Pingping after he passed away in March 2010 aged 21.
However, Niño's reign as the smallest man could be the shortest in history as Nepal's Khagendra Thapa Magar is soon to turn 18, and at under two foot tall could snatch the title away.
