Standing
just over 2 feet tall, Jyoti Amge of Nagpur, India, was confirmed
Friday as the world's shortest living woman. Guinness World
Records, known as the global authority on record-breaking -- albeit odd
-- achievements, flew to India on Amge's 18th birthday to take final
measurements and confirm the new record. The title previously belonged
to Bridgette Jordan, 22, of the United States, who measures 2 feet, 3
inches tall. Amge's birthday was celebrated at a party in Nagpur
with cake and guests from her hometown as well as Guinness
representatives from London.
