Wrong question. The correct way to ask should be: How short are you, Faust?

Anyway
5 ft 3 1/2 inches
1.61m
Woah! you're shorter than my Niece.

And she just turned 11.

But cheer up! Manny Pacquiao is 169cm but still broke some jaws!!

So in lab the other day I was mixing some solutions and needed to know the molar mass of sodium or chlorine
Speak ENGLISH for christsake!

I like my height.
What is your height?

Is that the max height in your family or are you still growing because I believe men grow until the mid 20's or so.
Of-course genetics also play's a factor.

CONGRATS! That's amazing! Getting anything above 70 on a physics-related test is always an achievement!

Signed up for my last semester. I've got plasma physics, biophysics, numerical analysis and greek mythology. Really looking forward to plasma.

But I have to submit the NSF GRSP application this week. I had totally forgotten until a prof randomly mentioned it. Argh... Grad school seems so scary now.

Only two weeks left in Moorea. But I go immediately to Cocoa Beach in Florida to celebrate the MAVEN launch, which will be awesome. Planetary scientists have work like physicists but like to party like ecologists.
Greek mythology? Nice! I've always loved Greek mythology.

Their musculature might mature, but most people are as tall as they're going to be well before their mid 20s.

Average male height in the US is between 5'8"-5'10", depending on age and ethnicity. Average male height in the Philippines is between 5'3"-5'4". Faust, you're not below average height for where you live. You're just short compared to other countries.

I know that. Doesn't change the fact that I'm short. The Average Height here is short because of the short people of the ethnic tribes, the natives, the pure Filipinos. But we've been colonized by the Spaniards from 1521-1898 and then by the Americans from 1898-1946. They are tall people. I myself have a Spanish Surname, "Joya" meaning I might have some Spanish Blood. But then I inherited the height/gene of the natives. DAMN! My mother is short anyway, she's only 5'0" I always wanted a better height. I'm always one of the smallest and shortest guy in class.

Look at the bright side. We have a certain American staff here that's below the average height in America... he's about 5'4 or something. At least you're the average height in your country even though you're a midget overall.

You seem to have a complex about it, honestly. I've never been short at any point in my life, so I can't personally relate to it. But it seems like something you need to get over and accept. It's something that you can't help, so just accept yourself already. Own it.

How exactly is that a brightside for Faust? I already told him he's average height where he is, there's no point in bringing others into it. -_-;

It's called being a tool. And using comparison to make one feel better while the other feel bad.

This is such a dumb statement considering the topic...

You know all about dumb statements, considering you make plenty yourself.


I confess I'm pretty nervous and think I'm getting my hopes up far too much. I hope things go well tomorrow (or rather, today) though.

I confess I am hopelessly nerdy.

I went to a college Halloween party last night. I stayed in the library reading Blue Exorcist raws and translations tonight.

What night was more fun for me? Tonight.

That's basically me too. I go to a lot of parties, and I have a lot of fun.. as long as I'm either drunk or high on pills.
If I go sober, I just think about the times I comfortably sat at home reading manga or watching something. :lmao
