again.... who doing the measurin'

I doh take dem on with dem 'ting at all.

look here I met an african here in Hamilton, one day at the Hamilton public library.  I was stunned uh days.  you have never seen anybody that tall I warn you.  Incredible. 

at least 8 feet some I am sure. tall, strong, slender.  I am 5'11 and I was at his waist.

everybody around stunned!  a perfectly normal human being going about his business but so tall he stunned. 

you would have to see him  to believe it.  and he as far as I know is just one of them.

I had a sociology teacher who used to tell the white boys in the class.  "you guys proud of your heights EH!"

deh were 6 five and six and so on.  "there are parts of Africa where you are short if you go there  SHORT!"

I did not take that teacher seriously but now I do.  that guy I saw is only one of  them

The eLife paper - A Century of Trends in Adult Human Height - (click)

was put together by the NCD Risk Factor Collaboration,

a group of 800 or so scientists, in association with the World Health Organization. .
