Summary of Guinness World Records 2009
From every corner of the globe-and beyond-Guinness World RecordsT 2009 gathers the most amazing, inspirational, and even bizarre record breakers yet!

Did you know . . .At 2 feet 5.37 inches, the shortest (mobile) living man is 19-year-old He Pingping of China, who was measured on March 22, 2008.
The world's most expensive cocktail is offered at the Skyview Bar in Dubai, UAE. It costs $7,439 (27,321 dirham) and consists of 55-year-old Macallan whisky from Scotland, ice made from the water used at their distillery, a drop of exclusive dried fruit bitters, and passion-fruit-scented sugar.
