Guinness World Record experts are set to travel to a remote part of Nepal to meet a 72-year-old claiming to be the world's shortest man.
Chandra Bahadur Dangi stands at just one foot, 10 inches tall, and weighs a little under two stone at 26lbs.
Up until now, Junrey Balawing from the Philippines has held the title of the world's smallest man with a height of one foot, 11.6 inches tall.
He took the title just last year from another Nepali, Khagendra Thapa Magar, who was measured in 2010 at one foot, 11,7 inches tall.
But if Mr Dangi's measurements prove correct, he would scoop the accolade by a mere inch and a half, and be the shortest human adult ever documented.
The shortest adult human ever, according to Guinness, was Gul Mohammed, who was 1 foot, 10.4 inches tall. He died in 1997 at the age of 40.
Guinness World Records editor-in-chief Craig Glenday said: 'We cannot confirm Mr Dangi's height until formal measurements have been taken and verified by Guinness
World Records officials but we hope to undertake the verification in the next few weeks.
'We intend to travel to Mr Dangi's village to officially measure him and are currently making provisions for medical professionals to assist us in the verification.'
Mr Dangi, from the impoverished Dang district on the Nepal-Indian border, first made the claim on state-run Nepal Television and has never been measured by Guinness World Records before.
He was filmed having to jump off a park bench because of his height and taking a short walk in front of journalists.
I read the title and I thought: "Oh great, another thread about my cock."
