I always have to laugh when I think my girlfriend is a full foot shorter than me

Oh well, I think I'm done growing, but just watch her outgrow me

Well, my oldest brother is 6'3, my middle brother is 6'6. But I don't know what happened to me, I'm the short one. I'm 5'11 and half.
I'll pull a Spec, I'm going to get my brother to join so I can win the seeds.

Sean, welcome back! We just need to do something about the little red X.

You can fill that that Tight End spot that the Bills left open!

 

[Seandew]

Thanks for your help Jim.

Maybe if I had filled in for the Bills on the weekend I might have got them over the line.

 

[PlantAKiss]

Giminy! I walk among GIANTS! Even Cindy is taller than me.

Thanks for the sympathy Dino. I guess I'll just go eat worms....

Maybe I should change my name to PlantAShrimp...

 

[jimscott]

Sean: You're very welcome! And yeah, we needed you!
Suzanne: ROFL!!!!!!!!!! Great pun!!!!!!
Bonnie: Wow, you don't look that tall in the website pic. I was going to comment on the lack of Amazons on the forum, but....

 

[pond boy]

I`m 5'6 I just got measured at a doctors visit.

LOL I don't make a habit of standing next to rulers very often... well.. there are those annoying ones on the sides of convenience store doors.. but to pose I'd have to put my gun down and take my ski mask off and then that could just cause all sorts of problems

 

[Mannannan]

I'm 6'2... which seems sort of normal around here...

 

[jimscott]

I'll probably get myself in trouble for saying this, but this proves the hypothesis that critters further away from the equator are significantly taller than those nearest the equator. Bonnie is from the Pacidic Northwest, whereas Suzanne and Cindy are much further south and closer to the equator. That doesn't explain Sean, though. Lamarck might appreciate this one.

Well, it is true I was born and raised in Alaska.. but around here I'm still considered remarkably tall.. especialy for a girl. Most the women I meet in Alaska are closer to 5' 2" to 5' 6" ... and the guys aren't much taller on average..
I had heard that theory though..

In all seriousness, the closer you get to the equator, the more colorful (reds, yellows, purples) and smaller are the living critters. Toward the poles the living critters are larger and less colorful (grays, browns). These are tendencies and I'm sure someone can find the exception to the rule. I have heard the the deer in the southern US are smaller than those up north.
