TO GO WITH STORY Nepal-Guinness-record-shortest-offbeat, FEATURE by Prakash Mathema In a picture taken on Febuary 6, 2012, Chandra Bahadur Dangi (L), a 72-year-old Nepali who claims to be the world's shortest man at 56 centimetres (22 inches) in height is held in a car in Jhapa district, southeastern Nepal.
