Wow! That kid is almost as tall as a windmill!
Heloise: “Alright Coldfire. No more dairy products and you have to pee outside.”
I’m trying to lose weight, dammit, I’m really trying!
And why do I have to pee outside now?
I’m two centimeters taller than the average Dutchman, or so it seems. Thing is, I probably weigh more than average, too. I’m surprised half of our population is overweight already - what are the criteria used?
Average Dutch man:
1964: 5’9"
2004: 6’1"
2034: 6’5"
(does the math)
2736: 100’0" Tall.
Let’s just see whose Basketball team dominates the Olymipics that year!
Get a handheld and moderate from atop a treadmill, rowing machine or stationary bike.
It’s gotta be the shoes.
I told you hashish doesn’t stunt your growth!!
Does nobody else see the connection between THC-induced eating frenzies and growing big?
And it’s not just the men who are tall, you know. The women are tall too, (5.8 on average, like me) and many like to wear high heels.
Now that I see the pic I have to guess that the clogs account for at least 7 of those centimeters.
Yeah, they went from the shortest to tallest in about a hundred years. That’s why they are all getting really cramped now. This is really crazy. Most other Europeans don’t seem to be growing at such an extreme rate.
Yeah, but if they keep growing, they’ll need bigger and bigger clogs, leading to the complete deforestation of the Netherlands!
They should have taken the blue pill.
Maybe Nature knows something we don’t. Maybe she’s preparing the Dutch to be able to wade through the water and have their noses above it when the dykes (shut up) give way.
Shows how much we know about Yurp over here–I had thought the littlest nation was France.
And this is a problem because…?
(6’1" American guy, who wholeheartedly approves of 5’8" Dutch women in heels.)
So in the 1600s, the Dutch were only about four feet tall?
Please tell me I’ve been whooshed. France is the largest country, in terms of land, in the EU.

Maybe they meant littlest as in, with the shortest inhabitants?
I hope so. Anyway, the littlest nation would be Munchkinland, which is between Czech Republic and Molvania.
