Could be -- my European friends are frequently as tall as I am, or have a
number of friends who are (or are taller) Both of Tryggve's (he's Swedish)
sisters are taller than I am, so he's well used to it :) Martin (German) is
as tall, and says his parents are both taller than he is.

I picture you all in the livingroom in my head... I know you all, and yet
meeting ppl always surprised me :) It was a constant struggle not to call
ppl by their beach names  You'd be surprised how fitting those names are
too...
