dumbest and most untrue article i have read in a long time.

so.......if its true, then why they don't explain the demographics that say otherwise?

i don't beleive height has any effect on intelligence or ability, and my experience in the world has shown that to me also.

i am tall also, but this article is complete bull.

It's true because we can reach the good books on the top shelf..

They usually have the kiddie books on the bottom..

James Madison (5'4"), Einstein, Alexander the Great .... the list of short "Greats" goes on and on. Imagine what they might have accomplished had they been taller.

I have to disagree with it.

How about tall people and all the head banging on the tops of door frames ,,,that's got to disrupt a few brain cells ?

See, Dennis... I was tall, so I'm smart, but I got a lowering kit so I wouldn't bang my head on the doors, which put me at a solid 6'1"

Talking Vertically Challenged ?

Sounds like a lot of "Road Apples". I like the books on the top shelf, but, I'll bet it was the cookie jar on top of the frig that got the most attention. OR the longer legs made a faster get-away.

In my liftime, I have never noticed any connection between height and income, success/lack off, status, etc. Now here's something interesting about reuters that popped up in my emails recently; http://www.aish.com/movies/JP/PhotoFraud.asp


****Note, please focus on Rueters images and that subject/issue, and not the poly situation.

What does REUTERS stupidity have to do with the research?

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1 &q=taller+people+smarter+study&spell=1

If you dont like reuters, there are many other communist, liberal, worthless "journalist agencies" available to choose from. However, its an independant study...

Journalism is crap. I can't believe people can get degrees in it. Moreover, i can't believe they get a BS in it. Its not science.
