being constantly fascinated with human height, i found the chart listing average height on wiki to be interesting

an interesting tidbit is comparing a foreign country's average height(usually an asian country) to that of the usa; it appears that there's usually a gain of about 2-3 inches in height(this i would presume owing up to good nutrition(and maybe increased consumption of calcium-rich products like milk, cheese, etc), one of the components to height(genetics and environment are the two)). look at the height for people from the danaric alps! crazy... netherlands is also pretty impressive.
all in all, i guess women are on average a lot shorter than i originally imagined; i used to think american women came out at around 5-5, 5-6. my mom is 5-5; above-average for being taiwanese, average for being american.
that being said, usa is a very large demographic; i would like to know exactly the stats on california, comparing different races. i still believe that most women would be a lot taller if they drank more milk and didn't eat rather scarcely while in their teens.

this is pretty funny actually; loopholes For T3h Win

reminds me a lot of norman's playstation 2 box prank.

what counterstrike: neo(japanese-exclusive counterstrike) players look like

i suck even more than i used to do at cs 1.6; 1/30 was the final ratio of kills:deaths last night when i played. the 1 coming from a random pump shotgun hit i threw outta nowhere at midrange. my assault rifle shooting is WAAAY off. i'd play more in the coming days to correct this, but the quarter's winding down, and cs sessions carve crazy amounts of time away; nothing like getting headshot in the 1st 30 seconds, then spending 4:30 watching others slowly walk around the arena trying not to die.

i really can't figure out how to handle the blogger in-beta; i just can't bring my archives to show up at all. i think i'm just gonna use the default templates they offer; i dunno if they would screw with my page once i use it, but i don't see any other choice; i let this thing stay, and i can't link to any archives. i'm just gonna have to 1st save a copy of my original template i've used for so long.

fyi, if you didn't know already, jeremy got a very nice bday present from me

i have a wicked sense of humor sometimes. i actually like giving P.I. gifts as presents, it's fun seeing the reactions on the person's face whom you gave the gift to.
