World’s shortest woman

A high school student in central India was recognized as the world’s shortest woman by Guinness World Records today as she turned 18 and said she hopes to earn a degree and make it in Bollywood. Jyoti Amge stood just 24.7 inches tall – shorter than the average 2-year-old – when Guinness representatives visiting from London measured her at a ceremony attended by about 30 relatives and friends in the town of Nagpur, in Maharashtra state.
