5. Dandy.

Then, my summer project is to make my legs longer. I'm going to look really odd when I go back to work.

Maybe I'll just wear platform shoes and cross my fingers AAARRGH

6. What was that TV commercial...??

Edited on Tue Jun-15-04 12:04 AM by Chuckup

Who got short shorts? We got shor shorts?

Ohh..that was shorts, not legs...well, yes, there were legs, but they were not short legs, it was short shorts...

What were they selling anyway, anyone rember?

Besides sex, of course! Hmmmm...but wasn't it a female product product they were selling?

If so, why use female sex to sell to females!

Just a second, I get it, it was a lesbian conspiracy!

Have I gone too far?

Am I stretching it?

Just a sec, that's what short women need, a stretch!

7. title is misleading

short legs are different than short woman. I'm short, but I have long legs in proportion to the rest of me.

8. I'd like to see the rest of that study.

Britain has more than one race living there. Different races tend to have different sizes and shapes and incomes and stresses. It doesn't say whether the difference was observed AFTER they separated out race, specifically, or income for that matter.

The article also, as you point out, doesn't address whether one has proportionately short, long, or average legs for their total height.

I think somebody needed to write a paper real fast for tenure or something. Unless there is a lot more to it that wasn't in the article.

12. Well, let's see - I'm 5' 0"

I'm not overweight; I don't smoke (never smoked), I walk 3.5 miles 4x week; I eat a balanced diet. I drink a glass of wine several eveings a week.

I am proportional. And oh, I already have heart disease. I was born that way. D'uh.

13. How short is short?

I'm 5' 4&3/4" inches (usually which I nicely round off to 5'5"), but I kind of have short legs. I feel short, but I suppose I'm average. :shrug:
