According to the site i have visited (i forgot that site) its says that taller people are smarter. Would you believe in this stuff? I mean lets face the facts that they have the advantage because their tall but it doesnt mean that they are smarter. People or individual are smart in different ways maybe the one who wrote that has a vested interest in a particular field. What do you think? would you agree?

No I do not agree. For instance look at the tall "dumb jocks", their tall and not so smart. Many play sports and are not book smart at all. Then there are the shorties that are extremely and exceptionally bright but just don't have the height. I most definately believe that it is an individual thing as oppose to a group thing. I know some exceptional highly intelligent tall people. I also know some intelligently and exceptionally highly motivated bright short people. It's just according to ones personality as well. Also it's in the genes. If your mom and pops are smart more than likely you may be smart.

Load of rubbish is what I think, I know some very smart short people and I am fairly tall and definately not smart, not stupid either mind you. I think it just depends on the person you are and how you have been brought up. People who can play musical instruments are supposed to be smart too but then take a look at some pop stars - I think not!!

Absolutely not! I know many taller people who are no smarter. I have known several very tall basketball players who had to have extra help to get their grades up enough to get onto or stay on the team. I have also known some very short people who were very intelligent. My 25 year old son has always been short. He is around 5 feet 8 inches tall but has tested in the genius range. I'm sure that there are many factors that make up how intelligent a person will be, but I'm sure that height isn't one of them.

Maybe it was to get attention and see who would respond to it. I wonder if the person(s) who wrote it are tall? I wonder what else they think about? The penguin is cute !!!
