P.S.: In the light of recent endless discussions on the list, let me make this absolutely clear: The statement above was ironic (for a definition, look here: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=42023&dict=CALD) and meant as a joke (http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=42879&dict=CALD). In no way should any criticism of short people be inferred from the statement, as this was not the intention. I have nothing against short people, in fact, one of my closest friends is short, albeit more than six inches, so please refrain from flaming me.
