21 year old, Ms. Kocaman told “I always hoped that one day the world would recognise me”. “It was hard when I was a child because all my classmates used to tease me for being small. But now I am famous bec ause of my size. So it makes me feel like I am much taller.” And she’s single, fellas! “God made me the way I am and I am proud of that. I hope I can find someone who will love me one day.”

Her mother, Hatun Kocaman said, "There were no problems in my pregnancy with her and I gave birth naturally." "She weighed 3lbs 10oz when she was born and was a normal baby. We never noticed any problems until she was one. Then we noticed she seemed to be growing more slowly than other babies."

Hatun Kocaman, Hatice’s mother said that Aside from her small stature, Hatice is perfectly normal in terms of cognition. Hatice grew normally until about age 1, then her growth slowed down while her walking and talking skills developed like those of her peers.

"God made me the way I am and I am proud of that. I hope I can find someone who will love me one day", said Hatice.

Hatice’s dwarfism, related to a rare bone disorder, was only diagnosed by physicians a few years ago.

Mini Car for Mini People
Short people have a lot of problems, including their small stature and difficulties of driving a real car. Most cars don’t allow such people reaching the steering wheel, pedals and accessing gear. They feel like “lilliputs”, but finally, one of the world’s largest car manufacturers paid attention at their problems.

Volkswagen started manufacturing mini-car models in the 80’s. The first model was called Gol. Its latest version was made in Brazil in 2008. VW Mini-Gol is about 30% the size of the original Golf. Its length is 2.25 meters. This vehicle is ideal for people whose height is up to 150 centimeters. Car’s engine can reach 5.5 horsepower. Its maximum speed is 27 kilometers per hour.(Source)

Too unfit to run: Two-year-old who smokes 40 cigarettes a day puffs away on a toy truck

Taking a deep drag on his cigarette while resting on the steering wheel of his truck, he looks like a parody of a middle-aged lorry driver.

But the image covers up a much more disturbing truth: At just the tender age of two, Ardi Rizal's health has been so ruined by his 40-a-day habit that he now struggles to move by himself.

The four-stone Indonesia toddler is certainly far too unfit to run around with other children - and his condition is set to rapidly deteriorate.

His mother, Diana, 26, wept: 'He's totally addicted. If he doesn't get cigarettes, he gets angry and screams and batters his head against the wall. He tells me he feels dizzy and sick.'

But, despite local officials' offer to buy the Rizal family a new car if the boy quits, his parents feel unable to stop him because he throws massive tantrums if they don't indulge him.

Born after a mere 25 weeks he is so small that the tape measure laid next to him is bigger than his limbs. He weighs a mere 9oz (275g) and from head to toe is the length of a sheet of A4 paper.

Doctors believe this makes him the most premature baby boy to have survived in the world and as a result of his size, the team treating him in Germany nicknamed him 'Tom Thumb'.
