But wait! There's more!

We here at Nostrum HQ wonder why, as we studied the life of He Pingping, the world's shortest man, all of the photographs were of him and the world's tallest man, or occasionally, the world's tallest woman. I mean, the guy was a couple of feet tall. You could stand him next to Betty White and he's still look like a really small person. Obviously your average media photographer either doesn't understand the concept of overkill or, for that matter, the irony of real life. Anyhow, one thing that we do know is that there is now a new world's smallest man. Our advice to him is to steer clear of really, really tall people. Forget basketball, for instance. No March Madness for you, my little friend. Hang out instead at bowling alleys and bingo parlors. Get your photograph taken with normal people. We promise you—in fact, we guarantee you, money back, no questions asked—that you will still look both itsy and bitsy. You can take that to the bank.

You can also take a bonus episode of Nostrum to the bank this week. Pick your poison, audio or pdf.
