The people at Guinness World Records straightens the record placing Svetlana Pankratova as the person with the longest legs on record which is  nearly 52 inches and the smallest man thereof.

To celebrate Pankratova’s feat – and the publication of the 2009 record book – she was joined in London’s Trafalgar Square by another of the volume’s entries: He Pingping, from China, and, at 2 ft. 5 in., officially the smallest man in the world.

And that’s the long and short of it.
