World's Tallest Man Meets World's Shortest Man (for Now)!!!

It was a match made in Guinness. The world's tallest man, 8-foot-1-inch Sultan Kosen, met the world's shortest man, 2-foot-5-inch He Pingping, at an event to launch everybody's favorite book of world records' live road show.

The ceremony was held in Istanbul, Turkey, 27-year-old Kosen's home country. The massive farm laborer, who has a condition called pituitary gigantism, told reporters, "I've wanted to meet Pingping ever since I was awarded the title 'tallest man."'

Pingping, a 21-year-old from China, suffers from primordial dwarfism. He didn't say much, but did get to ride around on his new buddy's foot. In 2008, Pingping posed with Svetlana Pankratova, who has been recognized as world's leggiest female with gams over four feet long.

But Pingping probably shouldn't get too comfortable with his new found foot rides. 38-year-old Jordanian man Younis Edwan claims he is only 2-foot-1-inches tall and could be one official Guinness measurement away from stealing all of Pingping's pint-size glory.

Read on to see the handshake.
