From the sites Eugen cited:
"Lucia Zarate was the smallest woman ever recorded. At her birth in
1864, she weighed only eight ounces and was seven inches long. By
adulthood she was less than twenty inches tall and weighed less than
five pounds.
She was normal in every other way, and was described as bright and
animated. She first came to the US at twelve years old and was one of
the highest-paid midgets of all time. She made twenty dollars an hour.
Lucia tragically died in 1890 when the train she was on became stalled
in the Rocky Mountains during a heavy snowstorm. She died of exposure."
Cooooool! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Gene! Man,
less than 5 pounds! Ill redo all my calcs for Mars mission. If we can
get people that small, we can probably even send two. {8-] spike
