Quick Take: Short People

A new study finds short men are more likely to commit suicide than tall ones. Is this because of the well-documented favoritism people show toward tall men -- ie, that short men are, in effect, a lower-status kind of person? Or is it that shortness is a marker of some other trait that makes offing one's self more likely?

Beats me. There is so much human-kind news in the world, the blog is going to have to convey some of it without trying to figure it out first. Hence this short format for the smaller items.
