World's smallest man meets woman with world's longest legs
Telegraph ^ | September 16, 2008 | Chris Irvine

Standing at just 2ft 5in high, He Pingping, from China, has been officially named the smallest man in the world.

Svetlana Pankratova, meanwhile, owns the longest legs in the world, which stretch to 132cm.

Mr Pingping barely came up to Ms Pankratova's knees at a bizarre photoshoot held to mark the launch of the new Guinness Book of World Records.

But the pair seemed rather happy in each other's company as they posed for photos on Trafalgar Square's steps in central London.

In January 2007, Mr Pingping was invited to take part on a television programme in Tokyo, and has since become somewhat of an icon.

It is rumoured he is now so protective of his image, he refuses to have his photo taken unless he is paid a substantial fee.

While Ms Pankratova might have the longest legs in the world, she is not the tallest.

Last month, Sandy Allen, at 7ft 7in, recognized as the world's tallest woman, died aged 53.

When you measure the length of length of legs, where do you mark the upper end?

Why does Svetlana feel that she needs to wear high heels? Anyway, she looks great.

4.3 feet of leg. Can we all say up to her proverbial armpits. And unlike Sandy Allan, a fine woman I had the opportunity to meet long ago, this woman is a babe. They never tell you how tall she is, but I have to assume she is pushing 7 feet.

Wow. A nearly 52 inch inseam.

Impressive.

I’d bet that the ‘one size fits all’ pantyhose DO NOT fit.

Whos that knocking on my door
Its gotta be a quarter to four
Is it you again coming round for more
Well you can love me tonight if you want
But in the morning make sure youre gone
Im talkin to you
Hot legs, wearing me out
Hot legs, you can scream and shout
Hot legs, are you still in school
I love you honey

Gotta most persuasive tongue
You promise all kinds of fun
But what you dont understand
Im a working man
Gonna need a shot of vitamin e
By the time youre finished with me
Im talking to you
Hot legs, youre an alley cat
Hot legs, you scratch my back
Hot legs, bring your mother too
I love you honey

Imagine how my daddy felt
In your jet black suspender belt
Seventeen years old
Hes touching sixty four

You got legs right up to your neck
Youre making me a physical wreck
Im talking to you
Hot legs, in your satin shoes
Hot legs, are you still in school
Hot legs, youre making me a fool
I love you honey

Hot legs, making your mark
Hot legs, keep my pencil sharp
Hot legs, keep your hands to yourself
I love you honey
Hot legs, youre wearing me out
Hot legs, you can scream and shout
Hot legs, youre still in school
I love you honey

Shes holdin leg wonderin how to feel them.
Would you get behind them if you could only find them?
Shes my baby, shes my baby,
Yeah, its alright.

Shes got hair down to her fanny.
Shes kinda jet set, try undo her panties.
Everytime shes dancin she knows what to do.
Everybody wants to see if she can use it.
Shes so fine, shes all mine,
Girl, you got it right.

Shes got legs, she knows how to use them.
She never begs, she knows how to choose them.
Shes got a dime all of the time,
Stays out at night movin through time.
Oh, I want her, said, I got to have her,
The girl is alright, shes alright.

Someone found a pic of this guy posing with the tallest guy in the world and immediately mentioned the resemblance between them and Kerry-Edwards. (OK, the Breck Girl shaved his head for this pic!)
