Yahoo! has this story about a Nepali boy who, at 20 inches, is making a bid to be included in the Guinness World Records as the shortest boy in the world.
I hope he makes it. But I can't help wondering - if he doesn't, could we say he'd fallen short?
On the other hand, he must be the only person who can set a new world record and then go around feeling about two feet tall.

Of shoes -- and ships -- and sealing wax -- Of cabbages -- and kings -- And why the sea is boiling hot -- And whether pigs have wings.
