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....

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.

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.....

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.

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. ๐Ÿ™‚

I just revel in the fact that I'm far more ergonomic and environmentally friendly. ๐Ÿ˜€

Yeti; you're about 5'8" or so, no?

5'10" is average UK male height.

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?

No - tall = normal and short = lacking. You can't interpret it as lacking = normal ๐Ÿ˜•

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. ๐Ÿ™‚

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 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.

If anyone would care to make a donation to The Campaign for Lower Urinals, please contact me.
When I say were desparate for funds, we really mean it.

Hmm - remind me not to go to stokholm then!

Im short for a bloke too (5 8" ish) so while not midget i am shorter than average, never had a 'problem' with it mind...

When i was a shop lakkie i used to enjoy selling cheap bikes to blokes my height or shorter who insisted on getting a 20" frame despite me attempting to sell them a 17" that fit them - they said the 17" is a 'babbies' (get the accent?) bike while proceeding to perch their friend on the top-tube while on tippie toes.

Well i can accept i am genetically inferior to the average 6foot + chav around here if it means i am not lumped with the IQ of a cretin. (not saying tall people are dumb but surely its difficult getting enough blood up there to the old thinking box ๐Ÿ˜‰ )
