My eyes are very similar with the one in the centre picture.My parents' eyes are similar with the centre one of the final row, or maybe the left of the final row -it's difficult to exactly know.
The map on my computer is easy and clear to see, so Josh, I think it can be possibly the fault of your computer ?

Yeah, that's what most white Americans have. My eyes are darker brown than most European-Americans, because most of them are of northern-Eu. origin. I have really dark eyes, which contrast with light skin. In a way I like it, but sometimes I think it looks like it doesn't match.

I don't think 120 pounds sounds right. If you're as tall as me, and I weigh 164 (not fat), then I don't think you can weigh only 120 lbs. I mean, it's not as if I'm like really big boned or anything to account for the huge difference. _________________ Operation Northwoods - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

Try it:

I'm 55kg, which comes out as 121.5 pounds. Seriously, I'm not very heavy. |

It says that 164 lbs = 74.30 kilos.
You must be very skinny then Ben. Are you eating at least 2500 calories per day? I eat 3000 per day, but I exercise a lot. _________________ Operation Northwoods - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

I am. And I've actually lost some weight recently, although unintentionally.

I want to be a doctor, but then I must get much taller !!!! I can write my name completely illegible without effort, so maybe it will be ok. |
No, no, I'm just a drone. I work at a hospital laboratory. It's a University Hospital so I get to see relatively many young people there, some of which are med. students; most people working in health care are 50+.

Because everyday life is life and that's what matters to most of us. Wouldn't it be convenient if everybody used the same system?

Something about patients not listening to a doctor who didn't have an imposing presence. He made up for it, though, by having a really deep, carrying voice. Have you ever seen the movie Dodgeball? His voice sounds like Michel's. Imagine that coming out of a guy who's barely 5'9" (1.75 m) tall! |
I have seen Dodgeball but I can't recall that character at the moment. Although, I can easily imagine you...

That thing about imposing presence is probably very true! As far as male doctors are concerned, that is.

Yes, but certain practical things you have to give up. My grandparents have this scale on their wall that says what the metric correspondence of this and that is. It's pretty cool to look at although it seems primitive. Take fathom for example, in Swedish it's called famn which also means "embrace". A fathom may be a certain length, but embrace? And foot (fot)? Just seems a bit outdated. We still use the length unit inch (tum) in certain areas, though. |

See, everything I read says the average American male is 5'10, not 5'11. But as I said, I always feel like I'm a tad shorter than adult males. Black and White adult males that is. The Asians and Latinos are about 5'8. _________________ Operation Northwoods - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

I guess a lot of owners felt that way too. Have you noticed that many waiters stoop or kneel next to customers when they take food orders now? I preferred it when they stood upright. It's weird having waiters practically giving your ear a tongue bath while they're telling you the chef's special.  _________________ "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies." ---- Groucho Marx |

You see the problem with this chart is that it does not define what "light" hair is. Is light hair only blond hair, or simply a lighter shade of brown? Or is it only blond and red hair? I have brown hair, but compared to most Sicilians, you might say I have light hair. And then the groups allow for such huge margins. 1-19%??? The reader is left wondering if the region is much closer to 1% or 19%. Since you're an expert at googling, perhaps you can find something similar, but more precise. _________________ Operation Northwoods - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

I've been told by some that I speak about physical appearance far too much, to the point of being obsessed, according to some of you. But the problem is, I can ask questions of others on so called "anthropology" forums because they are really just the dwelling places of racist bigots, or white supremacists, or "mediterranean" or "nordic" supremacists, who only promote division and ethnic hatred. I like to talk about our regional physical traits and ancestry without resorting to such an idiotic mentality, which is quite frankly, very barbaric and ignorant. _________________ Operation Northwoods - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods
