Haha, FREAKS! ![]() Myself as well. The second tallest member of my dad's side of the family is my dad, standing at 5'9". At 6'3", I kind of stand out.

You can stand on one side of me and Nina on the other when we line up by height for the forum kick-line I am precisely 5'6-3/4" My older daughter absolutely towers over me now, and my son is Aqua's height. David's 6' 2"...the only person in my home that is still shorter than me is 12 years old. |

The coolest part was that I am 3 years younger than my sister! I was taller than her by about 4th grade. This was SUCH a great thing growing up!

heh...I'm 16 years younger than my sister. I passed her up when I was around 12. She's only 5'1"...barely passed the height requirement when she went to work for TWA as a hostess with the mostess. Now she's a lawyer but she's still short! :lol: |

Thanks, Deb I've been called short and told that 5'6, 5'7 was average, but I think it's definitely more like 5'4, 5'5. |

Geez, I'm only 5 ft 7, and I'm a bloke. Even in England this is considered a bit of a short-arse. What tall people forget, of course, is that their brains are proportionally smaller, which explains why short people are always invading Russia, but it's the tall people who do all the dying. Or is that compensating for something else? Anyway, one day I hope to inherit my own private kingdom, and invade somewhere full of tall and short women who will become my love slaves and sharpen my pencils. Everyone's got to have a hobby. |

Possible bimodal indication without skew. General expected inheritance is greatly varying. Independant from the what has already been inherited poll. x |

I have no clue. The distribution just surprises me. 12 people vote zero. All other values get 1 to 4 votes? ![]() |

Well since there's no standard value with a definite error margin, the pattern can pretty much look however the heck it wants to. |

In other words, sample size is too small to make any analysis at all. Also, some people probably lied, or joked, or hit null. |

Right everyone, crack out your standardised tables, lets all do a Poisson approximation to the Normal to prove to kenny what we are trying to say.![]() x |

Eh, that would take too much work. I'll stick to intuition and deductive reasoning, thanks.
