The world’s shortest man who was capable of walking, as verified by Guinness World Records, died Friday at a hospital in Nepal, his family said.
Khagendra Thapa Magar, who measured 67.08 centimeters (2 feet, 2.41 inches), died of pneumonia at a hospital in Pokhara, 200 kilometers outside Kathmandu, where he lived with his parents.

My wife and I were participating in a DC Freep one year - I think it was for the Correspondent’s Dinner. We saw Georgie walk right by us.
Yeah, he’s real short.

The Lord makes all sorts of different and wonderful creatures.
I bet he had a great sense of humor and knew how special he was.
I like to think he experienced love, as well. I bet he did!
