It is interesting  how Christine from the show "Netherlands has got talent" is singing a song about flying and gravity and ... a moment too soon. But applause for her come back, she is a  character:)

With a height of only 70 inches Edward Hernandez Niño is the lowest man in the world.

Edward Nino Hernandez is in many ways a typical 24-year-old Colombian male. He loves to dance reggaeton, dreams of owning a car - preferably a Mercedes - and wants to see the world.

Top on his list of people he would like to meet are Jackie Chan, Sylvester Stallone and former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe.

What sets Nino (pronounced NEE-nyoh) apart is his size. He is slightly taller than a piece of carry-on luggage and weighs just 10kg (22 pounds). Nino has just been officially certified as the world's shortest living man by Guinness World Records, measuring 70cm (27 inches). "He hasn't grown since he was 2 years old," his mother, Noemi Hernandez, said of the oldest of her five living children.

The previous titleholder was He Pingping of China, who was 4cm (1.5 inches) taller and died March 13. The Guinness people discovered Nino afterward. They say Nino's reign is not likely to last long, however.

Khagendra Thapa Magar of Nepal is expected to take over after he turns 18 on Oct. 14. He measures about 56cm (22 inches) and is currently recognized by Guinness as the shortest living teen.

Doctors never could explain why Nino is so small, his parents say.

"They never gave us a diagnosis," his mother, Noemi Hernandez, said during an interview.

Hernandez, 43, said Nino weighed just 1.5kg (3.3 pounds) at birth and was 38cm (15 inches) long.

Nino says he already has a girlfriend. She's 18, is named Fanny and measures just under 1.5m (5ft), he says.

"I feel happy because I'm unique," Nino said in an interview Friday with reporters.

Divers have found the world's oldest drinkable beer at the bottom of the Baltic Sea.

"We believe that these are the oldest bottles of beer," said a spokesman of the Finnish province of Auckland, Rainer Juslin. 

Untouched bottles of beer are removed from the ship which is believed to be located at a depth of 50 meters more than 200 years. 
Experts failed to outline the origin of the ship, nor the exact date of his potonuvanje. 

Divers have found the beer while preparing to move to 70 bottles of champagne, which opened in July this year and believed that it was best champagne in the world that can still be drunk. 

Constant temperature and poor lighting conditions were excellent for storing beer, but thanks to pressure bottles sea water could not enter them, say officials in Auckland.
