A 70cm (27-inch) tall Colombian has been named the world's shortest living man by Guinness World Records.

Edward Nino Hernandez, 24, weighs only 10kg (22lbs). His mother said he had not grown since he was two years old.

"It bothers me that people are always touching me and picking me up."

I guess it's fine as long as they don't stick him into their pockets trying to smuggle him out of the country as a souvenir.
