2ft 5in Tall Man Hopes To Be Smallest In World

Following the death of the world's smallest man earlier this year another Chinese man has stepped forward hoping to claim the title.

Huang Kaiquan, 40, of Sanjiang village, Hejiang County in southwest China's Sichuan province, measures only 2ft 5.91in (76 cm).

This makes him just 1.4cm taller than fellow Chinese man He Pingping, who was just 2ft 5.37in (74.6cm) tall.

He Pingping was officially recognised as the world's smallest man until his death in March this year at the age of just 21.

Huang, who weighs just 12kg, the same as a three-year-old, is now hoping to claim the record.

According to his mother Cheng Fuxiu, Huang, or 'short brother' as he is known locally, was born in February, 1970.

He is the 2nd child and only son and all the other family members are of normal height.

Cheng comments: "He didn't grow at all one month after birth. We thought it's just late development and didn't pay enough attention then".

However, by the time Huang was three years old he was still wearing the clothes of of a one-year-old. "Then we noticed his unusualness," added Cheng.

The couple took Huang to various hospitals within the province, but doctors were unable to provide a diagnosis to explain his unusual height.

"Relatives suggested us to dump him, but we couldn't do that as he is our son," said Cheng.

Huang was discovered by a performing troupe in Chengdu when he was 21 and he worked as a performer for the next two decades.

He recently retired from performing and now lives back at home with his family.

JOKE: johnnie walker

A young man in a Corvette yelled at Susie and her friend, "Hey, Susie! How ya doin'?" Susie yelled back, "Hi, Sixty-Four! Doing great. See you later."
Susie's friend thought Sixty-Four was an odd name and commented so. Susie explained, "That's because he has six inches, but he's good for four times a night."
Later, a guy in a BMW yelled out and Susie yelled back, "Hey, Seventy-Two! How's things?" "Seventy-Two? " asked her friend. Susie explained, "He has seven inches, but he's only good for twice a night."
Then a guy rode past on a bicycle and gave Susie a shout. She replied, "Hey, Johnny Walker! How's it going?" When he was out of sight, Susie's friend said, "Wait a minute. I know him. His name isn't Johnny Walker. Johnny Walker is a liquor." Susie replied, "So... you broke my code!"

Diaper man pleads guilty to fraud

A 40-year-old man who tricked caregivers into changing his diapers by pretending he had the emotional maturity of a 5-year-old apologized to a victim in court Monday before pleading guilty to charges of organized fraud. Authorities said Sean Kelly of Port St. John told caregivers he was incontinent and hired two women to change his diapers in 2008 and 2009 but did not pay them the amount he promised.

He was officially charged with two counts of organized fraud of less than $20,000 by the Brevard State Attorney's office in February. Kelly, 40, was sentenced to a year of house arrest and four years of probation on Monday. Judge Robert Wohn also ordered a psychological evaluation of Kelly. "An apology might not be enough," Kelly told a victim in court. But ". . . for my part, I apologize." Minutes earlier, the caregiver had tearfully described how she changed Kelly's diaper and fed and bathed him.

"I have to live with this for the rest of my life, this shame," she said. Prosecutor Don Loughran said Kelly likely had other victims. "I think they are too embarrassed to come forward," he said. "What this man did was despicable." According to the Brevard County Sheriff's Office, Kelly sometimes would hire women through postings on Craigslist.org. He would call them pretending to be the brother of the disabled man who needed care.

Kelly would then show up and pretend to be the man with the disability. The ruse was exposed when a caregiver's husband saw him get into a car and drive off. Lt. Tod Goodyear, who heads the sex crimes unit of the sheriff's office, said he believed Kelly had a fetish where adults want to be fed from bottles and wear diapers. "Online, we have found, there are groups that cater to this kind of fetish," Goodyear said.

Thief tried to sell ladder to man he'd stolen ladder from

A man just released from jail in Oregon for stealing a ladder, caught by the man he stole it from, was arrested again for trying to sell a stolen ladder to the same man. This all started on July 28th when the thief was caught with a ladder stolen from a Cedar Mill area man. The victim saw the thief, recognized his ladder, and turned the thief in to the Washington County sheriff's office.

Kevin Gilman was taken to jail on accusations of burglary and theft, said sheriff's office spokesman Sgt. David Thompson. Gilman was released from jail on Aug. 3, then he called the victim and asked him if he was still interested in buying a ladder posted on Craigslist, Thompson said.

Apparently, Gilman had listened for a second time to voicemails he received before the arrest. He didn't realize that he had already called the same man who had turned him in, Thompson said. The victim called the sheriff's office, and detectives took his place in the purchase. When Gilman was arrested the second time, the detectives bought three stolen ladders from him, Thompson said.

Gilman told detectives that he did door-to-door marketing for a painting company. If he came across a home with packages on the porch signaling no one was at home, he would steal the packages, Thompson said. Sometimes he stole ladders, he told police, and would leave them resting against vacant homes. He said he once entered a home and stole DVDs and a guitar which he pawned, Thompson said. Most of what Gilman has stolen has been sold. Gilman remains in jail this time, with bail set at $100,000.

Disney faces $200,000 lawsuit in alleged Donald Duck groping case

Walt Disney World is facing a federal lawsuit seeking more than $200,000 in damages after a Pennsylvania woman claimed a person in a Donald Duck costume groped her breast two years ago, court records show.

April Magolon said her family was visiting Epcot in May 2008 when she approached Donald Duck for an autograph.

She said that instead of an autograph from the person in the iconic fuzzy white costume with a blue and yellow sailor shirt and hat, the person performed a "physically menacing act," the lawsuit alleges.

"Donald Duck proceeded to grab [Magolon's] breast and molest her and then made gestures making a joke indicating he had done something wrong," the lawsuit states. "[Disney] has engaged in a practice of placing corporate profits over public safety while attempting to cover up continuing, long standing similar prior incidents."

Disney spokesman Bryan Malenius said today that "we've now seen plaintiff's complaint and will respond appropriately in court."

The spokesman said he could not say who was in the Donald Duck costume or provide any additional information.

Magolon is suing Disney for negligence, battery, negligent infliction of emotional distress and intentional and reckless infliction of emotional distress.

She is seeking more than $50,000 in damages for each count.

She has suffered "severe physical injury, emotional anguish and distress," according to the complaint. She also alleges the incident has caused acute anxiety, headaches, nightmares and flashbacks, among other emotional and physical ailments.

Her attorney originally had filed the civil lawsuit in Pennsylvania's Court of Common Pleas in December 2009, but court documents show the case was transferred to Philadelphia's federal court after a request from the entertainment company to move it there.

Malenius could not immediately answer why Disney officials asked to transfer the case to federal court.

In addition to the allegations, the lawsuit also states the Orange County Sheriff's Office has received 24 complaints of similar alleged acts by costumed characters since 2004.

A Sheriff's Office spokesman said he could not confirm those complaints, but said sex-crimes investigators are working on providing an official count.

Sheriff's Office officials confirmed Magolon never filed a complaint against Disney for the alleged groping incident.

The theme park faced a media blitz in 2004 when a person dressed as Tigger was accused of groping a 13-year-old girl and her mother at Magic Kingdom's Toon Town.

Deputies arrested Michael C. Chartrand on charges of lewd and lascivious molestation of a child and battery after the alleged incident; however, a jury cleared the man of any wrongdoing.

The Worst Beach in the World? The Most Hair-Raising for Sure!

What a comfort! Jump out of airplane in a few meters from the ground, namely jump right into the sea… and annual leave already starting! WOW! It’s very practical! Bags leave in the plane. However, they may have to wait at the airport. It is so close. It is important to take good ransom and enjoy the benefits of summer vacation. Albeit a little loud holiday. But who cares. :)
 
We found this beach on wikipedia, and here is what wikipedia has to say about this very noisy beach:
 
Maho Beach is a beach situated in St Maarten in the Netherlands Antilles, on the Dutch side of the island. The location is known worldwide because of the Princess Juliana International Airport that is situated immediately adjacent to the beach.
 
Incoming air traffic is known to have to touch down as close as possible to the beginning of runway 10 due to the short runway length of 2,180 metres/7,152 ft, resulting in low-flying aircraft on their final approach over the beach. Due to these low flying airplanes (including large passenger airliners such as the Boeing 747), the location is very popular with plane spotters.
 
People standing on the beach may also be blown into the water because of the jet blast from aircraft taking off from runway 10. The beach can also experience large waves which makes it popular with windsurfers and skimboarders. The local government warns that closely approaching and departing aircraft can “result in serious injury and/or death.” An additional fence has been added recently behind runway 10 to prevent irresponsible tourists from hanging on to the main fence surrounding the runway to be “blasted” by the aircraft engines’ flow.
 
As of 2008, it is one of the few places in the world where one can view aircraft in their flightpath virtually just outside the end of the runway. Watching airplanes over the beach is such a popular activity that daily arrivals and departures airline timetables are displayed on a board in most bars and restaurants on the beach, and the Sunset Beach Bar and Grill has a speaker on its outside deck that broadcasts the radio transmissions between pilots and the airport’s control tower. Sign warning passers-by about the risks of jet blast.
 
The beach itself is white sand and has little to no vegetation because of the jet blast erosion. The Caravanserai Resort, the popular Sunset Beach Bar and other restaurants/night clubs such as Bamboo Bernies and Bliss are located nearby.

On October 16, 2008, the Maho area of St. Maarten suffered a direct hit from Hurricane Omar and destroyed the Sunset Bar and Grill while also destroying Bamboo Bernies and Bliss. As of November 2009, Sunset Beach Bar and Grill and Bliss have both re-opened. Omar reduced the beach to boulders, and damaged the nearby Royal Islander Club La Plage which re-opened February 14, 2009.
Runway 10/28 was originally runway 09/27 which was changed as a result of geomagnetic alterations since the original construction. This change occurred on November 1, 2008.
