Yay! It is with exquisite Friday-style delight that we report the World's Shortest Man, 2-foot-5 He Pingping, has been kickin' it in New York City this week and enjoyed a stay at the Grand Hyatt last night.

The NY Daily News puts a smile on our face with this description:

He had to stand on his toes to reach the lowest buttons on the elevator at the Grand Hyatt. Sitting on the bed in his hotel room, he looked like a doll.

Just LOOK at him! Hyatt, lower your elevator buttons. Or make special ones for him. Actually, we'll make special ones for him -- and we'll engrave our phone numbers on them because he is awesome. The end.

    when i was a kid, i couldn't reach the 11th floor button in the elevator, so i had to press the 10th floor button and walk up everyday.
