Height ladies?

[Goldmoon]

You know I'm just joking.

I know.

Ed Gruberman...come closer, so that you may learn.

Point for Kenobi65!

6'3"? Wow...

I myself am 5'7". I thought I would have ended up taller, since I was always one of the tallest kids (of both genders) in my classes when I was younger.

But then I sort of stalled out for a few years when I was in high school. I remember walking into the cafeteria on my first day of being a freshman, and taking my first gander at the seniors...

And I swear the first thought in my head was, "Holy crap! When did all the boys get so blasted TALL?!"

Puberty sucks.

It's as close to a male conspiracy as we can manage...we're all concentrating on being short until about 15, and then we let go and pop about a foot just to make you feel insecure...

You know, I almost can believe that.

One example that comes to mind... when I was a wee one, there was a fellow I was best friends with for several years who was cursed with being short. The kids used to pick on the poor boy all the time. I even still have a fifth grade picture of the two of us where you can't see my head because my mom had to tilt the camera down to get his head in the shot!

I lost touch with him during high school... but then I saw him again when we were in our very early twenties. In the intervening years he'd gone from being almost a head shorter than me to being almost a head taller. I suspect nobody picks on him any more.

Mother Nature has a twisted sense of humor, she does.

Lousy bellcurve. Is there something about EN World gamer women that causes them to be equally distributed in height?

Indeed, a not uncommon occurence. Girls tend to get the height first, boys tend to get more, later...

I've always found it to more a sense of justice actually...comeuppence, if you will, for those who abuse their size in the early years. I was one of the tall ones, so I rather disliked the tall folks who were bullies. Gave the rest of us a bad name.

Consider it to be an appropriate sample then...I mean, you actually want to see a bell curve, unless you expect there is something inconsistent with the population.

I for one welcome our female bell-curve overladies...

Nope, that didn't come out right either...must work on the word placement algorithms in the "Witty and Amusing" subroutines...(wanders away distracted)

More like "lousy sample size."

At this moment, a grand total of 15 people have responded to the poll. Even if the heights of EN World gamer women were normally distributed (i.e., a bell curve), I wouldn't expect to see that distribution really manifest itself until you had a lot more respondents (probably need 100 or more to really see it).

I can't vote since I'm a guy but my wife is 5'7''-5'8'' (not sure exactly since we measure in centimetres here in Australia. She's not an EN Worlder (or a gamer for that matter) so it's a bit of a moot point I guess.
