... but it turns out that taller people are smarter.
Okay, so these researchers studied people born between 1958 and 1970, but the article says, "early nutrition is an important predictor of intelligence and height." (Hm. What accounts for height disparities between siblings, then? Did Elizabeth routinely steal Sarah's dinner?)
Well, no. I think it must be something else. Maybe too many vitamins.

Could this simply be a case of statistical convolution like the increase in population in Britain correlating with the increase in storks? Just a thought.

Woo. I better not tell my friends that, though, they're mad enough at me for being so tall as is.

They're not mad -- they're just jealous! But you're right, best not to pass this along.
