NEW YORK - AC/DC guitarist Angus Young tops Maxim�s list of the �25 greatest short dudes of all time,� standing tall at 5 feet 2 inches.
NBA guard Spud Webb, at 5 feet 7 inches, is No. 2, followed by Napoleon Bonaparte (5 feet 4 inches), Olympic weightlifter Naim Suleymanoglu (4 feet 11 inches) and cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin (5 feet 2 inches).
The magazine, in its December issue, claims to be helping women �begin a long overdue fight against their genetically determined shallowness when choosing a partner.�
Yoda, at No. 6, is the shortest on the list. His height is calculated at 2 feet 2 inches.
Other great short dudes: Martin Scorsese, Jon Stewart, Prince, Kurt Cobain and two of the Hobbits from �The Lord of the Rings� films � Elijah Wood and Sean Astin.
The tallest �short dude�? Pro football player Doug Flutie, at 5 feet 10 inches, who is ranked at No. 24.

The slam about women being shallow would carry a bit more weight if a guitar player and a basketball player weren't ranked above Napoleon on the greatness scale. |
