Here's a photo of the tallest man in the world meeting the shortest man in the world. I imagine minutes after a few of these pics were snapped, there was a lot of "okay, now what?"

And then I bet there was a bit of nervous chuckling, then tall-ey and shorty sat down to lunch, hashing out the plot points of their action flick "Tiny and the Tree" over salad.

Either that, or they both quietly exited the meeting, went outside, and tossed themselves into oncoming traffic, creating the need for family members to immediately contact specialty coffin manufacturers.

It has happened every single year since I have been on this planet. And every single year, news anchors all over have reported on this event, as if this were a new, unique interest-worthy newsstory. It is not.
