I've read this article in my newspaper and so I went off to find out more. To my surprise the article was correct and Dutch are now officially the tallest people and whats more they intend to grow four more inches in the next few decades. Weird... :D :p

yep:) hehe i am 16 and i am now something like 1.85 so exactly the average of an Dutch :cool:

[Largefry07]

haha that funny. But yet i'm jealous. oh well :cheers:

[Finellach]

Well the thing wouldn't be so strange if they didn't grew about 6 inches in average in the last four decades!!

Btw. it is not just Netherlands. The trend is present in other European countries as well, Netherlands is just the most extreme case. In couple of decades we might have a race of giants on our hands. :rofl:

[Hector]

with the stuff they put in your food now you will become like 3 meters in 2050

[fallen_saint]

oh great...that means i have to look up to Europeans, maybe they say americans will grow like 6inches in a decade lol, i know mexican americans are doomed to shortness =-x, oh yea how high is 1.85 meter=?? feet (don't have the formula to figure that out at the moment =-x )

[Hector]

i dont know feet lol

but it is big for a 16 year old one but i am almost 17 so dont know

[Finellach]

[Largefry07]

I'm 6'2 and I'm not even 16 yet. They're just now catching up with us. :) :cheers:


Edit: A meter is just a little over 39 inches.

Well thats not hard to conclude since an inch is 2.54 cm.
Btw. I don't think you will grow anymore. I have friends who also gre tall(about your height and even more) and they hardly grew an inch(if that) anymore.

I'm 16 and still 1,65 metres...
Damn, I'm small...
BtW, here in Germany there are many Dutch people right now, driving through our country on the way to the country they spend their holidays in.
There are so many Dutch people on German motorways that we think there are no more people in Holland...
Everyone's on our motorways... :D
