    I guess I am just staggered that the graphic of a clearly bimodal distribution would be rendered as normal!

    This could be a fun article for class discussion. Height does not cause many outcomes. But if you select on it then it will!

    I am still decipering which bits work and which don't - I think it is almost a very nice graphic

    Also doing something of a height analysis of dictators

    If you have the backing of tall generals maybe you are ok

    I have always been very sensitive about just being average in height

    I should not make light of such matters but am just reading the ABS analysis on the "average" Australian in 2011 - and to make me laugh even more - the average Australian was identified as female with a Certificate in Business. Sorry I think "was" was correct reading. Maybe things have changed since 2011. CEO now perhaps

    For those who  can't use Google here is a link Who knows what the average Australian is capable of

    Sorry for my self-indulgence, but this reminds me of a project ,I had inspired by a scene from Monty Python I think - to develop a scale of averageness
