Towering at 8”1’, the world’s tallest man, Sultan Kosen, welcomed the world’s shortest man, 2’5” He Pingping, to his home country of Turkey for a Guinness World Records event. Kosen and Pingping posed for photographers at the promotional event in Istanbul, creating quite the interesting photo op.

Oodles of oddities.

Is Sultan Kosen a natural giant or is his gigantism a result of a thyroid problem?

At over eight feet, I assume it's some sort of endocrine abnormality, like a pituitary problem.

Somebody should give them hats with cameras and have them hang out for a whole day. Would make a very interesting video.
