Don't drink the water.

What's up with the small people in India lately? Yesterday two people were in the news. First, there was Aditya "Romeo" Dev, a 2'9" bodybuilder.


And then there was Jyoti Amge, a 1'11'' teenager.


And I think we all remember Lil' Superstar.

Lil superstar makes me so happy! Let's not forget about the two-faced baby from India that was born recently. Also, the US is now outsourcing surrogate mothers to India...who knows if we will start seeing two-faced 1'11" kids running around the States soon.

Dwarfism, or achondroplasia, is more prevalent in India than in other countries, presumably as a result of consanguineous (or shared blood/lineage) marriage. Check out "A Son of the Circus" by John Irving for a fictional account, or look up dwarfism or achondroplasia for more information.
