I need those tall shoes, Shosho! Just learned that short people have a greater chance of getting Alzheimer's! At least, if they have a finger tip to finger tip measurement of less that 60 inches... and that usually coinsides with a short stature...

2:15, hi all.

I mean 'coincides'.
I guess spelling is the first thing to go???

My hubby read the same thing, Shiela. I'm 5'2". We happened to be measuring windows for new shades this morning and he had the tape measure in his hand.....uh...what was I talking about???

Shiela, Kathy, sure we could possibly have a 60 inch span from finger tip to finger tip if we cared to knuckle walk like the Pan troglodytes!

Morning. Have woken to realise my face is quite sunburned after our picnic-ing yesterday. I would be cranky with the children if they were so careless - so am mentally telling myself off for my stupidity!!

Hi all!
""""short people have a greater chance of getting Alzheimer's!!!!!!!
I work with Alzheimers patient and most are taller than my 5'3'' Wish they were all shorter!

All sudokuist are keeping their brain active ... giving NO chance to Alzheimer to stick to it. I should be spending even more time in here!

Oh, thank you, Danstell! Now I can put my stilts away.....

Sounds a bit like 'pop science' to me, or researchers desperate for some statistical correlation so they can publish and get more funding.

If being short is an indication of greater risk of Alzheimer's because it is a sign of poor childhood nutrition, does that mean that genetics is More...

If a man's arm spread is 70" and he is 4'10", he may also be an orangutan.

Maybe somebody should check the fingertip-to-fingertip measurement of Jessica Watson's parents.

(You didn't think it was possible to draw the two threads together?)

Good morning all.
Vici - 3 days to go - wow, that came up fast. Still haven't booked to come to Sydney, will do that this week.
Jessica Watson - good luck to her but, if she were my 16yo daughter, she wouldn't be going.
Ian - I agree that it sounds like 'pop science'.
Both my parents More...

Unfortunately, CynB, there is probably a genetic component to it. But even that can be deceptive, in that lifestyle habits, as well as genetic traits, can be passed on from generation to generation. And no one has really studied that at all, because there are just too damned many variables.

Hi folks.
I fear it is genetic as well Cyn... that is why I am going to live my life to the max [and run Vici ragged] while I still have a few marbles...[tho many like Broni think I lost them LONG ago...]

I haven't been around much lately... been busy, busy, busy getting ready for the More...

Hello everyone,what a scary lion king. A beautiful day to be outdoors.

AWWWWW - How cute! My Billy dressed up as a Lion the one and only year he took tap dance, but you didn't hear it from me!

BROKEN DEMOCRACY

Some folk are simply ostriches,
with heads beneath the sand,
escaping biting midges -
that thirst above parched land.

But not Nelson, with his telescope –
applied to his blind eye,
who ignored command to raise up hope;
he of danger was not shy.

Rayray, well done.

I wish I could find a copy of a cartoon that I saw once, perhaps thirty or forty years ago...

An ostrich was standing in the middle of a bleak, desert setting. His head was swiveling around, back and forth.

Very close around him, in plain sight, were a More...

Ian:
Would the cartoon have been equally funny if the ostrich that spoke had had its head under the sand too?

No, not at all, Rayray. The very point was that he acquiesced in the delusion, despite being totally aware of it.

Morning Everyone

Yup, Tami (who apparently bears a striking resemblence to John Lennon) is right, autumn has arrived in South Florida. I had to put on long pants and shoes for my walk around the block!!!! Whats next... long sleeve shirts????

I just posted a pic of a bald eagle I took flying over my home last week. It is not the clearest, but the bird is a hundred feet up, and it is clearly a Bald Eagle.

I have always believed that the span from finger tip to finger tip was equal to your height. If you are six feet tall then your span should be about 72 inches. Test this out for yourselves!

I heard that too, Glenn and I was going to try it. Usually my handyman husband leaves tapes everywhere he shouldn't - but today, when I want to test the theory - can't find one.

That seems to have been da Vinci's thoughts too referencing his famous drawing of a man, arms spread within a circle where his height was the diameter.

During a recent password audit, it was found that a blonde was using the following password:


MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofy


When asked why she had such a long password, she said that it had to be at least 8 characters long.

Slooooooow day today. I don't like Mondays (sounds like a good name for a song ). Weekends are too short and weekdays are too long. I wanna go home.

WooHoo! Going home now!

Glenn: I just tried it. You are exactly right. Not only that, but the span also co-incidentally precisely equals the length of my 6 foot tape measure. Amazing!

Anne: Your man would have little difficulty in cutting his toe-nails.

I wonder if an ostrich with long wings also has long legs

I now have a vision of dozens of sudokuites, measure in hands, going through their households, measuring. Does this equation work on domestic animals also? Is paw to paw equal to length or height?

Sorry Ian I missed the hour as I was walking the dog and pondering Rayrays last posting
