We are!!! Don't you know there's an eight foot height restriction in the
NBA? Only the shrimps can play because if your average American did it
wouldn't be any fun to watch cause all they'd do is reach over and drop
the ball through the net! Shaquille means 'little warrior'!

^_^ Sorry little propaganda there, but Shaq really does mean 'little'.
You actually live in Japan? That's the one thing I can't figure out. If
the Japanese are so 'tall' over there, then why are most of them shrimps
over here in America? I'd say the average height of a Japanese girl here
is around 4'10". Same here seems to apply to most all the Asian girls
except the ones who are half breeds. The Japanese guys average about
5'2". Only way thy're getting taller is if the have a second late growth
spurt which most people don't get. The girls have already had there's a
long time ago and will probably stay that height. Maybe it's the smog?
