Yep be like the daughter. Who is regularly quoted as saying "Don't ever call me Average, Normal or Ordinary. Anybody can be those. I am Crazy, Different, Odd, Strange or Weird." So yep I agree, go be different. Just like everybody else. :lol: :lol:

I think one of the theories explaining why islanders are so small has to do with the fact that the reached the islands after very long sea voyages. Many people must have died but apparently the larger individuals were better able to survive the trip - maybe more fat reserves. Only a few made it and each population started from a relatively small gene pool made of large individuals. I think Tim Flannery might elaborate on his book "The Future Eaters"
