The Dutch are the World's Tallest People
SO GREAT!
"With their protein-rich diet and a national health service that pampers infants, the Dutch are standing taller than ever. The average Dutchman stands just over 6 feet, while women average nearly 5-foot-7.Ask Pieter Gijselaar about the problems of the very tall.
At more than 6-feet-10 1/2, he spends a lot of time ducking through doorways and guarding against minor head injuries. In an economy-class airline seat, he only fits in the emergency exit row."

Who cares about the Dutch...lol! It's ok...call me Dutch-hater!
hey, you can't hate dutch people, i'm dutch!!
Actually, I was going to put this article on "Pygmies" on MY blog, but I don't want to appear to be competeing with you.
I hate to burst your bubble, but you do realize that we're only 1/8th Dutch, right?? And our Grandmother, who is actually 1/2 Dutch is only about 5' tall, so I'm thinking we don't really get our height from that side of the family...
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you may as well be just as excited about being Jewish.
first: i AM proud of being jewish. mazel tov.
second: i consider myself at least 1/3 dutch, just for the fact that i spent 4 years in grand rapids surrounded by dutch people, attending a dutch school.
dibs on more dutch genes.
Katie,
I like your Irish side better. I am assuming, of course, that there is an Irish side....
It's funny you should ask, Amber...we're actually less Irish than we are Dutch!!
