Are people under five feet tall a separate species?

Poll question: Are people under five feet tall a separate species?

I think there's some thread in LBN on the scientific debate over how to regard small people.

1. I actually once opened a door for a short man carrying a box...

waiting for him to walk under my arm.
He looked offended. Go figure.

2. I've done the same thing. Without bad reaction, fortunately,

but afterwards I thought, "Well, that was a bit strange."

6. Only about 19 at the time, and realized what I thought was a

helpful gesture as a 'person', he took as an offense in a 'man/woman' sense.
It was another lesson for me in considering the feelings of others.
I am often asked to retrieve top shelf items for little people in the
grocery stores.

8. My thought was actually one word: "Deoderant."

10. Oh ha,ha. No, that wasn't it. He didn't get that close.

More like, attractive young woman in mini-skirt
holding door for very short man half her height.

11. Well, I didn't mean you: I meant that after I thought about somebody

walking under my arm, I finally realized ...

3. Yes, of course.

That's why it's so fun to fuck them.

7. I was once drained to the plug by a gryphon,

but what you describe would probably make a feller explode.

4. My dear struggle4progress!

I don't think they're a separate species.........

I mean, they can breed with normally sized humans!

Haven't seen you in a while.......How're things?

[struggle4progress]

9. Hi CPeggy! Things is approximately fine! Cuz, of course, I can ..

.. always get them pesky science matters settled by a quick trip to the Lounge!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Oh yes, that's for sure!

The Lounge is just chock-a-block with scientific types!

Nice to see you tonight!

13. Yup that's why I wrote about socks for one of my Bio AP essays in HS.

Fortunately, those things are on a curve, so I scored a 3, which is passing. I got college credit for writing about socks.

[struggle4progress]

14. You got access to Clinton's cat for your AP project? Wow!

You must really be connected!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

15. Nah, I wrote about the toe socks I wore when fencing and about how my

one history teacher looked like a tool for wearing socks with his Birkenstocks.
