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

We’ve known there was something missing for a long time….

it explains the angry little man syndrome anyway.

my jeans are massive………… 8)

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.

Hmmm…

6’7″:

5’4.5″:

You can keep yer extra genes. 😀

Careful you don’t bang yer head on the door frame on yer way out…

Is that Elfin that Myleene has in her hands?

Oops, I’m tiny – only 5′ … must be exceptionally defective 😆

Think emsz’s tiny too …

Your theory says shorter guys are bigger dickheads…

I’m only 5’2″ is this aimed only at men? Think we’re OK Sue, beautiful things come in small packages 😆

beautiful things come in small packages

which is often heard said by men with small packages in their hands. 😀

I’m on about us girls height wise anyway!! 😉

5 ft here as well. Perfect size, apart from getting things out of high cupboards.

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…..

(MD @ 5’2″) 😀

i don’t get some of the comments.they’ve gone way over my head (5ft 5 and a 1/4 😉 [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcYppAs6ZdI[/video]

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

Another memebr of the short and bitter camp then derek?

The phrase ‘small but perfectly formed’ exists for a reason you know 😉

Beer comes in barrels.
Poison comes in small bottles.

I like this.

Yeti’s just jelus cos he is on the shorter side of average hight.

Yes, ‘average’. Because that’s soo exciting.

How about the genes of short, left handed people?! 😯

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.

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.

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.

Short people genetically ‘lacking’

+1

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 🙂

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?

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?

Looking at it the other way then that suggests that tall people have extra genes

No – tall = normal and short = lacking. You can’t interpret it as lacking = normal 😕

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. 🙂

There, there DD – now run along and mine’s a tea, white two.

I didn’t see this story in the Guardian when I also read that – does that mean it isn’t true then? Oh nose!

Short people are inferior but as I’m 6’5″ tall that doesn’t rule many of you lot out 😆 😉

Freak 😉

I can live with that 😆

Short people are obviously more highly evolved, much more at home in our modern, crowded society.

A ‘Tall tax’ would punish those who thoughtlessly increase consumption of natural resources.
