A new spin on being tall

Okay, first there was this article in the NY Times about how the destinies of men are determined by how tall they are. Apparently being tall increases your chances of being successful and getting married. Now there's this study by a Univ. of Florida professor who found that tall people get paid more in their jobs than shorter people. Apparently, every inch of height adds $783 to your income! The study says that people have a tendency to 'look up to people they have to look up to'. Being tall increases your respectability and improves your job evaluations too. An interesting study of human nature and how perception shapes our view of reality.
