The leggier the better, apparently

I'm 6'5 (two inches off being an official giant I'm told), so my interest in this article is purely self-centred, but it's rather amusing.

It's all about eating peanut butter when you're a teenager.

    • Seems not everything is as simple as we first thought...Some pesky Polish researchers look like they might have thrown a spanner in the works.

      Well, I'm not that bothered - having to assess Kylie's legs isn't that much of a bad thing, it just means if she wants a kiss she better fetch the yellow pages.

    • Being 6'5 can be a real annoyance in day-to-day life.

      I literally cannot fit into regular airplane/car/cinema seats, I can never find decent clothes that fit, and I'm always hitting my head on doorways.

      In fact the only benefits are having a guaranteed great view at gigs, and being impossible to loose... so no covert espionage for me!

    • Admittedly I'm not as tall as this guy, but I'm just thinking surely there's got to be a limit to the 'tallness' factor...

      In women, the links between height and sexiness have been well documented, just look at any catwalk across the globe. But with men some see their height as threatening or over-imposing... is this another form of vertigo?
