Size Matters

Bit player Verne Troyer is hoping to get better acquainted with knee caps since he has spent most of his life at the ankle level. He is also hoping to get better acquainted with his fans by launching a new social networking website.

The oddity, who rose to about shin level as Mini Me in the one note Mike Myers' films, has set up the interactive site creatively called "Looking Up" on his official page cleverly called VerneTroyer.com - and is already busy uploading personal photos and videos of him having creepy sex and peeing in corners for his followers to check out, and encouraging them to post their own snaps. Verne is especially excited because his website can hold many more images than any other website because his photos are so tiny.

And Troyer is pleased he'll be able to use the website with the help of a giant chair to reach the keyboard so he can keep in touch with fans. The chair was donated by IKEA. An IKEA spokesperson said, "We are glad to help this thing out in anyway possible." When asked about making a special giant chair for Verne the spokesperson said, "We actually just gave him a chair from our junior collection."

He tells the unreadable Parade magazine, "I've launched a new website, VerneTroyer.com. It's linked to a social networking site called 'Looking Up', which is similar to Facebook. Well, it's exactly like Facebook. Listen, I am not a creative person. I'm small. That's all I got. Anyways, I get to chat with people that like my movies. I have them guess what other movies I've been in besides the Austin Powers movies. So far no one has guessed right. Actually no one has gone to the website yet. I type my website into Google and Google can't even see it. What does it take to be seen?"

A Google representative has even offered to help Verne's website to get more notice on their search engine. The Google rep says, "We have developed a search engine optimization tool especially for Verne. We are actually going to put Verne's website on the shoulders of a larger website. We are then going to put a large overcoat over both of them. Verne's website should be somewhat noticeable then." 2010 is going to be a huge year for Verne Troyer!
