'You don't notice short women getting exceptionally aggressive and determined to compensate for their lack of height, just short men.'

Hmmm. Queen Victoria was 5 feet tall and the most powerful ruler in the history of the world, empress of 25% of the land area of the earth and 33% of its' population. ;-)

Is that picture real? (Not photoshopped?)

I am not sure, but it is probably real (but not 100% certain).

Having said that - Mahmoud Ahmadinejad IS short.

From Wonkette:

Tonight Mike Wallace interviews Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Let’s go behind the scenes: “He’s actually, in a strange way, he’s a rather attractive man, very smart, savvy, self-assured, good looking in a strange way,” Wallace said, “He’s very, very short but he’s comfortable in his own skin.”

5'7" is a 'little' man? I thought that was average.

Oh well.

Someone needs to post daschels pict sitting on the briefcase.

[sandbar]

That picture is funny as hell.

BTW, don't forget The Artist Now Known as Prince Again. I hear he has plans to take over the world.

"Wallace said, “He’s very, very short but he’s comfortable in his own skin.” "

Wallace probably meant to say foreskin. He's comfortable in his own foreskin.

Well, I've read a couple of biographies of Victoria and it doesn't seem she was an aggressive bitch. A little cranky in her old age but not personally aggressive. It wasn't her out there leading the troops.

Per the CDC, in the USA, the average man is around 5'9" and the average woman is 5'4". (And it amazes me how many people seem to think average for women is 5'7 " or 5' 8". Weird!)

Whether short in stature or short in length, man or woman, the psychological term for acting in an aggressive manner to cover up one's "short comings" is "penis envy."

My favorite Redd Foxx joke is:

My wife weighs 300 pounds. She thinks I love her 'cause every time she climbs into bed, I roll toward her.

If you make a tall girl angry, she will just cry. If you anger a short girl ... she will kick your rearend..........

Speaking as a tall girl, I know at least half of this statement to be true!
