That was a guess... woo-hoo.

Right, another footie question (lifted from the BBC site)...

Apart from during penalty shoot-outs, who was the only person to miss a penalty at the 1994 World Cup in the USA?

Over to you UP!

merci bien. alors

gul mohammed was the shortest mobile adult human who ever lived, he was terrified of pigeons and smoked 80 cigarettes a day. but how tall was he? (inches please, none of that continental rubbish)

Do you still think in old money UP?

When you say he was the shortest mobile adult, does this mean he had legs? I'm sure there was a chap who had no arms or legs, but still managed to light cigarettes, shave, and father quite a few children. There was a very old film called "Freaks", which was made before the war and was quite disturbing.

None of which is really relevant, I'll go for 2ft 6 inches.

the baying audience of play your cards right wrote: lower! lower!

by mobile i mean that he could walk and had fine motor skills. also it is to the nearest half inch. but he is shorter than your first guess.
oh, and here is his pin-up (not actual size)

I'm going to guess 2ft 3, (solely by counting the number of markers on the tape measure in the picture)

still too tall i'm afraid. there is a coincidental clue in the phoenix.

22 inches then?

I must have miscounted!

nobody is that short Your Eminence, but what's half an inch between bitter international rivals? he was 1' 10 1/2" all yours
