He is not being held in their hand. He is being "lifted" with both hands to meet Bao or that is what it looks like to me. How awesome that they could meet.

I think what she meant (cause I thought the same thing at first) was that he was in the palm of someones hand. At first glance it looked like the two arms around him in the picture were actually fingers (looked like that to me anyway) but after examining it more I noticed it was two arms

Just to meet. I can understand why the worlds smallest man would want to meet the worlds tallest man.. Just seems to make sense. lol

The tallest man ever was Robert Wadlow (1918-1940). He was 8'11". That's about 272cm.

Image

The shortest man ever was Gul Mohammed (1957-1997). He was 1'10". That's about 57cm.

Image

The tallest woman ever was Zeng Jinlian (1964-1982). She was 8'1". That's about 247cm.

Image

The shortest woman ever was Pauline Musters (1876-1895). She was 2'0". That's about 61cm.

I find it kinda ironic that the tallest women ever and the tallest man now is both of asian decent. That first picture of the tallest man ever looks to be pretty normal as far as his physical features go. Cool facts, thanks HurricaneBill.

When you're that tall you transcend the laws of time and physics apparently.
