Many people had their eyes glued to the TV watching the Patraeus report last week or they spent their weeking plotting ways to steal their personal memorabilia back from friends hawking their signature for $20 a pop after the courts took away their only way to earn a living by writing about the murder of their dead wife, whom they probably killed, even though they beat the rap with an acquittal and a dream team.  Many people didn’t hear about Noah Rouch.

Noah committed suicide on Wednesday.  Noah was defeated in a midget wrestling contest on Tuesday night, despite the fact that Noah is the World’s Tallest Midget, as featured on 60 Minutes back in July.  (see feature clip below)

Noah had attempted to make his way through life as an activist, but he found that it was just not possible to live partly in the two very different worlds of midgets and non midgets.  After suffering through an embarassing defeat, after a midget wrestler stomped on Noah’s toes, punched him in the nuts, and forced him to smell his own flatulence in front of an audience of 6 at a Indianapolis strip mall, Noah went home, got drunk, passed out, woke up, almost got drunk again.

It was at this point that authorities believe that Noah, started his garage, intending to purchase more alcohol, but instead fell asleep at the wheel and killed himself.

He is survived by two sisters, and a half brother, who must now ponder how to purchase a casket for the worlds former tallest living midget.

*Note, Noah is not the tallest midget in history to ever have lived.  Abraham Lincoln is actually the tallest midget to have ever lived.
