      This map shows the distribution of the world's height, according to research published in eLife.


      Researchers found that Dutch men, at 182.5 centimeters (about 6 feet), and Latvian women, at 170 centimeters (5 feet 7 inches), are the tallest in the world .

      Men from Timor-Leste, at 160 centimeters (5 feet 3 inches), and Guatemalan women, at 149 centimeters (4 feet 11 inches), are considered the shortest.

          Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                        All those tiny mayan women. No wonder the Nephites couldn't hit Samuel the Lamanite on the wall - they could barely see him.

                            And this is the driving force behind the Pac-12 networks problem. The biggest TV markets(Socal, Bay Area, Phoenix) just don't care enough about college sports to drive demand.

                                I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking that. Also, the light gray - is that less than 17.5%?
