The World’s Shortest Man Met The World’s Tallest Man Today

Sultan Kösen is a Turkish farmer who also happens to be the world’s tallest man, standing in at 8 feet 3 inches. Chandra Bahadur Dangi makes “placemats and head straps for villagers carrying heavy loads” in Nepal, and he’s the world’s shortest man (just over 21 inches).

In honor of Guinness World Records Day, which is apparently a thing, they met in London today to promote the latest edition of the record-keeping book and to write a pilot about two men of wildly different heights sharing an apartment without driving each other crazy.

They’re thinking of calling it: The Weird Couple.
