I read somewhere that on average the Dutch are the tallest folks on the planet. Take that for what it is worth.

Yes, men average 6'1", while women average 5'10", which, um, is my height and the average for American men. What's more, it's a substantial increase over two generations. Dutch used to be shorter than Americans. The tallest countries in Europe are the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway... four countries that also have been fortunate not to have decimated large swathes of their army-sized men in the past 100 years.

Ok Dutch Man.....put up  a pic.

According to wikipedia, Australians were the tallest in the world in the mid 19th-C, but now we're mid-table. Maybe an immigration thing, r just that we were ahead of the pack in nutrition and then the rest of the world caught up/overtook?

I had a problem with r and w. Still pops up from time to time, but when I was younger I basically just had to repeat 'red rats running around in circles' 50 times every night.

Firstly, you are a very good looking girl, Cutie, at any rate in my opinion.  I had no idea.  You look as good as the one in your signature, and its interesting that you pose similarly too.

Too bad she's just 17 and lived in another part of world

No I don't mind that.  But jesus christ, $1,800 in presents?  That's shocking.

really? That is down sizing in my family. That is not including my birthday party and how much that costs.

My family maxes out at about $400 per person, and evn that's high for most years.
