no wonder they're so skinny there... they are afraid to lift weights for fear of getting shorter. Play more basketball!

Yeah, that's the ticket.
 
can't blame them. competition is crazy in china. i've heard absurd things like having measurement requirements for office jobs
 
wow..that's amazing. and sad in a way. They just need better nutrition. I'm Chinese American and 6' 2" and my brother is getting close to 6' but my parents are only like 5' 8" and 5' 2". Blame it on the poorer diet they have in China. Maybe the next generation of Chinese will be taller.
 
I read an article about since the advent of TV there hasn't been a US president under 6 foot either. Now I'll have to try and find it.

<- 6'3"

I thought driving a miata and not looking like a tard were mutually exclusive.

Maybe you could go to China and see if there is a procedure that does the reverse and shortens you.

Bush Jr. isn't quite 6' 😀
 
I like Chinese.
I like their tiny little trees,
Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin, and yang-ese.
