I've been thinking recently..Is there anyway to grow taller? Its not for me, considering the last thing I need is to grow taller (I'm already 6'6'', and its not fun, I assure you) but I've always expressed an interest in finding out if you could cause humans to grow taller past their natural age of height halt. I do know that HGH (Human Growth Hormone) can cause you to gain height, however, it also has other negative effects. What else do you know of that could promote human height increasement?

There is a procedure they do for children who has uneven leg growth where they break the bone and seperate it and allow the gap to be filled with new bone growth. It's exclusive to children in formative years from what I remember.

I suppose resistance training will broaden out a person, which can sometimes make them at least 'look' a bit taller.
Or you can buy those shoes that Kim Jong Il wears.

We're all whitey here, so we don't know.
Ask Gary Coleman.

Actually, they aren't. You just assume that because most of the professional basketball players who are from 6'5''-7'5'' in height are black. Actually, the tallest people in the world come from Germany, the Netherlands, and those kind of nordic countries.
Also, I'm not ''Black'' persay, I'm only half black. And its sort of funny, because my father who was the black side, is only 5'7'', but my asian mother is 6'0''. Go figure.
Heres an interesting little statistic if you don't believe me:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_height
If you look at the bottom of the chart, it says USA born white americans are .4 inches taller than blacks. Its not surprising, actually. The biggest people on earth were the Berserkers. African's/African American's being taller than whites is a myth, however, the shortest people are in the Phillipines.

I predict that Rockos next post will be to ask why black guys have bigger dicks (and then he will ask people to upload so he can compare).

"compare".

I'm 6', 6' 1" ish, It's not that fun being this tall.

You know, its funny actually, because most people associate being tall with being strong, and superior...HAH...No...If you think about it, theres really nothing superior about being tall EXCEPT being able to reach high things. A few disadvantages:
. Makes it harder to get into small areas
. Makes it harder to gain muscle mass
. Awkward in social situations
. Makes sprinting harder
. Makes it harder to find the right clothes
. Makes it harder to fit into cars
I could go on and on..Point being, besides reaching high stuff or playing basketball, being large usually has negative conotations.

My dad is 6'8. I am 16 and stand at 6'3. I am the foruth or fifth tallest in my class.
First one, not always true (tall, strong superoir one)
2nd true
3rd false we tall people just don't show it. Though if I was shorter, I would be a pretty decent size.
4th TRUE!! Why is it that the big guys are always the nicest, and the little ones are the firey ones. notewithstanding, I have a friend who is about 5'4 greatest friend I've ever had.
5 idk, i do long distance
6 TRUE!!! I wear 31x36, do you people know how hard it is to find even slightly designer clothes in that size??
7 true this is why I will never get a corvette. I could get a delorean, but then I'd have to add tuneups to that which I'd prefer not to.
The manliest post on the internet
