See? See?

By Me | May 4, 2005

In her column in today’s New York Times, Maureen Dowd writes:

Researchers report that taller men are more likely to win in business and - except for the hapless Al Gore and John Kerry - get elected president. Correlating 16-year-olds’ height with their later salaries shows beanstalks grow up to earn about $789 more a year for each extra inch of height.

Which means that (contrary to some complaints that were uttered on my porch in the recent past [-ahem-]) being tall ain’t so bad after all.
