Last night a huge question came into my head; what is the difference between a midget and a dwarf. I asked my girlfriend and she said that a midget was under 5 feet and a dwarf was under 4. I was very skeptical of this answer (because that would make all dwarves midgets…very confusing) so I decided to Google the word "midget" . Well, the first result was the Wikipedia entry for midget and the second result was Eric the Midget’s (or the Astronaut, Actor…) Wikipedia entry.

For those of you who aren’t fans of Howard Stern (and don’t pay $13/mo for Sirius Satellite Radio) Eric is a frequent caller to the show and an endless source of comedy.

The dude even has a an entry in IMDB…he was in an episode of Xena? And according to Something Awful, he ranked 3 in the Big ten list of little people.

"Lynch makes the list and ranks so high because he is an uncommonly angry and possibly even evil midget. He is surly even when being offered gifts and compensation. His only apparent skill is that he knows everything about American Idol. He obsesses over various Stern-related Internet message boards."

If you are interested in becoming Eric’s friend on Myspace HERE is his profile, acording to his Myspace headline:

"No One New Is Getting Approved To The Friends List. In Fact I’m Cutting People."

Eric has to be the world’s most famous, and dare I say, angriest midget in the world. So…what’s the difference between a midget and a dwarf?
