Guano was an important fertilizer. I don't remember where the crazy comes in.

Not if you've divided them by size. He's the biggest guy in his races.

But that works in my head -- there's not some larger set of people who would be faster than him. Edit: I mean set of larger people.

There was a House that involved a young female model who turned out to be XY. It got all tangled up in either her father, her manager, or her father/manager sleeping with her, and while she was barely of age--making it skeevy, but not illegal--he couldn't cope with the fact that he'd been taking advantage of a "boy" rather than a "girl." Typical twisted House stuff.

He was a father/manager like Joe Simpson, Connie. The real question is, whose birthday did I dump from my brain to make room for that?

This. I may not agree with their lifestyle choices, but they seem happy with their life and don't seem to be judgey of people who don't choose that kind of life.

I'm not sure that's entirely right, since they're apparently part of Quiverfull, where women should be submissive, contraception is like abortion and having lots of children is a tool to obtain demographic superiority. [link]

Have you seen today's xkcd Jess? It made me think of you.

Natural parenting? Yes, it's brilliant.

But he's the guy with the size advantage over everyone else. It's not fair for them to have to run against him, if size is the discriminator.

I wonder about genetics in other sports. Cheryl Miller was a better b-ball player than her brother, I swear, and he had a good NBA career.

But he's the guy with the size advantage over everyone else.

Bolt's size shouldn't be an advantage, since he's an unusually tall sprinter. He's an exception to the rule that more compact men are better sprinters -- the rule has something to do with leg turnover.

Dear lord. They're playing/singing carols in the nearest conference room. And unless they switch to Latin or Band Aid they're unlikely to hit anything I like. I don't hate Feliz Navidad, but they're butchering that. I guess it's best they don't sing anything I'm fond of.

I'm too old school about Christmas songs. They need to have Jesus in them, or, apparently, starving Ethiopians. Latin is a bonus.

Bolt's size shouldn't be an advantage

But Jesse's carving the groups up by size as if that was the edge. If it's not an edge, then why divide along those lines? If it's an edge, it's either theoretically unfair to the taller or the shorter guys if you have a wide height spread because of outliers.
