I speak truth, Grasshopper.
That'll leave a mark..
*Chuckle*
I don't remember teachers doing stuff like the article when I was in school.
Of course, I always was told stuff like, "You're more like a brother."
The way I see it:
Short people are more energy efficient. We house a soul just as large as that of taller folks, yet it takes less natural resources to sustain that soul.
Think of the resources we could save if we were all short. Buildings could be shorter...saving much raw material. Clothing would require less material.
AND it took much less food to get me fat than it would to get YOU fat.
