the making of men

while on holiday, van ramblings and i contemplated the making of men.

why is it that english & french men are so often slight while american & australian men are of a hardier kind. every american or australian woman who steps off the boat on these shores asks the same question (though they may welcome the reduced levels of testosterone demonstrata).

we've always assumed it was cross-breeding. unlike the english, who draw from the same pool, us american and australian mongrels have managed to create a more robust human cocktail.

but now...we took a look at the men in croatia. big, hardy, lumbering men. and i'm thinking the sun factor matters. like with a plant. more sun, more grow. in the u.s., it's still sunny even when it snows. (that applies in metaphorical sense too). and what did van rambles say...babies should be put out in the sun.

so shower your baby in the sun and measure the difference. solar power - it's not just for heating homes.
