Is a dwarf the same as a midget?

Question

Is it ok to find dwarves/midgets funny!

I find them hillarious....do they know they're funny?

Do they pay half fare on trains,buses etc.. I have a Great Dane who is as big if not bigger than an your average little fella and i dont have to pay for him on public transport?

What is the offspring of dwarf and midget called?

Do they really bring you good luck?

How many of them are there in the world and where are they most commonly found?

Answer 1

and dwarfs have small bodies and big heads like in little people big world

hilarious show

Answer 2

i think gnomes are hilarious-- i think if u morph a dwarf and a midget together, you get an imp! i think it just varies in height a dwarf usually has red stockings and a fuzzy hat who lives in the north pole--lol a midget can be the samething from the medevil times. they may bring good luck if your irish though--hhehe-- i dont think they pay half fare---it wouldnt be fair-lol and the last questions is a really good one--mayb you can be the first to break the record--count how many in the world!!!

Answer 3

I love dwarfs and midgets! I've got one for a sister.

  No, I don't think they're allowed to pay half the fare on public transport (except perhaps if they pretend to be someone's baby).

  I'm guessing the offspring of both could be called either a dwarf or a midget...

  They bring good luck. I believe they do.

  Some day, the tiny midgets and dwarfs shall take over the world and spread like a wave from their places of origin (Ireland, Asia, etc.).

Woot to the dwarfs and midgets!

Answer 4

you are discriminating against a part of the population. cant call you a racist, but you found the next best thing that wont land you in jail or beaten to a pulp.

Answer 5

The correct term is little people.  I guess they'll let you call them midgets or dwarfs if they can call you idiot or dimwit.  It's sad there is actually ignorant people like you in the world.

Answer 6

My son is a dwarf. I was told the odds of average size parents having a dwarf child is around 40,000.I am in Australia. There arent many around really. The proper name for the most common type of dwaarfism is Achondroplasia. There are over 200 different types of dwarfism. Anchons have normal soze torsos,short limbs(upper parts of the limbs) and big heads in proportion to their body.They  are of average intelligence, altho my son is extremely smart. He is 8,and about the size of a 2 year old and only weighs 18 kilos. But he is a determined little bugger and can do most things the same as his friends. Dwarfs dont like the word midget and alot dont even like the word dwarf although it doesnt bother me! The 'politically correct' term is little person or short statured person. Dont tease or laugh at these people, it is very hurtful to them and really they are no different to you or I, just there life can be a little more difficult because every day things are so much harder for them to do,like reaching public toilets,taps,drink fountains,light switches and many more everyday things others take for granted.
