It seems that as well as their jeans being smaller, their genes are fewer!

Hmm doesn't mention the other well known fact..
Which is, if all the world males were lined up with their erect penises on their heads, they'd all be the same height.

I'm on about us girls height wise anyway!!

5 ft here as well. Perfect size, apart from getting things out of high cupboards.
Posted 6 months ago # -
Is it? I don't know. You must listen to an awful lot of men holding small packages.

Indeed, those extra genes are just filler - slugs, snails and puppy dog tails!

The only thing I'm currently lacking is one of my axes in order to 'discuss' this theory with the authors of the report.....

You could chop them off at the knee, MD, redress the balance, so to speak.

It isn't so much 'listen' - they just seem to have to make the most noise about everything.

Never really though about my height TBH Elfin. Was only recently pointed out to me I was above average.
Posted 6 months ago # -
height perception is an odd thing. i'm 6'1" but really don't feel that I'm tall. apart from when i'm standing beside a shortarse.
Posted 6 months ago # -
And conversely, I don't feel 'short', even when standing next to a beanpole.
I just revel in the fact that I'm far more ergonomic and environmentally friendly.
Yeti; you're about 5'8" or so, no?
5'10" is average UK male height.

this. I'm 6'2" but do remember standing at the bar not too long ago and all the blokes around me were taller, breed em big in bolton Posted 6 months ago # -
5'10" Elfy. I was bent down to talk to you.
Must've been something else they were referring to when they said I was massive then?
Posted 6 months ago # -
Looking at it the other way then that suggests that tall people have extra genes. I'm just trying to work out which genes they are.
is it the 'like basketball' gene or the 'walk funny' gene?

No - tall = normal and short = lacking. You can't interpret it as lacking = normal
Posted 6 months ago # -
Or the "find out science stuff by reading the Telegraph" gene?
Two of our string of shit STWers here are most likely to fire off angry withering patronising posts, I've realised.
