The Oldest Person in the World

hi guys :)
age 40 in 1915

Jeanne Louise Calment was born in Arles, France on February 21, 1875. She once met Vincent Van Gogh in her father's shop. Her genes may have contributed to her longevity as her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to the age of 86. She married a distant cousin at the age of 21. Her only grandson died in 1963. She rode a bicycle to the age of 100.

The Shortest Person in the World All Time.


The shortest adult human being whose age and height have ever been verified by The Guinness Book of World Records was Gul Mohammed, from New Delhi, India. He stood just 1 for 10.4 inches (57cm) tall, making him nearly three centimetres shorter than Junrey Balawing. Gul Mohammed died at the age of 40 in 1997 from respiratory complications, reportedly caused by heavy smoking.
