Taller people are smarter than you, so they deserve more money. They are also probably more attractive.

I got no reason to live.

"One word, Ben: Stilts."

Have I ever mentioned how tallsmart I am?

Show me the $$

But on the other side of the equation short people can more easily scurry under the refrigerator when the kitchen light gets switched on. So, you know, compensations.

Where does penis size fit into the equation?

Not so much into equations, but rather prosaic expressions. Such as "terrifying," "elephantine," and "prehensile."

Nobody mentioned anal, Unc.

I guess I was inserting my "agenda," again.

Once again Stephen Hawking is the counterpoint. Dude is like 4 feet, max.

But before his speedboat crash, according to Wikipedia he was 5'11" so still on the tall side.

Those little boxes with information on famous people's height, weight and clothing sizes are one of Wikipedia's nicest features, in my opinion.

Ironically, height is the nonsensical factor that tall people use to distinguish themselves when nothing about their cognitive skills is notable. Something to ponder.

Also, Doug Henwood will be first up against the wall when the height-neutral revolution comes.

Come to Grand Central Terminal at rush hour sometime. Giraffe City.

But the one that's really tough to explain is hat size. People clearly discriminate on the basis of hat size even in times and places where hardly anybody wears hats.

I am at the 55th percentile of American male height. I am not interested in promoting the wealth or power of the tall. However, making fun of short people is ok by me.

This makes up for being too tall to wear heels.

Neopythia (#353)

My height smarts don't seem to translate into more money or happiness. I think I'd settle for wearing heels without looking like an amazon.

You can never be too tall to wear heels. Fact!

And here I thought my height was due to my dad being really tall, not because I am SUPER SMART.

It's not how tall you are. It's how diligently your parents beat you when you come home with an A- in pre-calc.
