Other Crap

The Dutch, already the tallest people on the planet, are still growing in height.

• The average height for male Dutchmen is about 6'1" (actually 185 cm).
• According to the historical data, the average Dutchman was 5'4" in 1850, while American men averaged 5'6". The American average has increased three inches since then, but the Dutch average has increased at three times that rate. There must be magic in those herring.
• When the Watusi were first discovered by Europeans, they averaged 5'7" - which made then taller than Americans, who were then the tallest people in the world. Today, the Watusi still average 5'7". (Obviously because African nutrition is not up to the standard of the developed nations.)
