the world's smallest man


To tide you over until I get around to posting some new stuff, here's a video of dance sequences performed by Nelson de la Rosa, the recently deceased Dominican gentleman who stood all of 54 centimeters. Thanks to Brett for including this clip years ago on a VHS copy of Tenacious D and a live Weather Report performance.

That. Is. Creepy. As for his recent death...I assume it was related to small-person health issues. This has always perplexed me. 'Cause in dogs, the smaller they are, the longer they live. My aunt and uncle have a miniature schnauzer that's like 35. Huh.
