	Considering that I am short.. I thought it would be fun to learn facts about "short" Is not life 100 times too short for us to bore ourselves? Friedrich Nietzsche Short people The shortest nation in Europe is Malta. The Maltese have an average height of 5ft 4ins (164.9cm) compared with the EU average of 5ft 5½ins (169.6cm). Notable short people include Horace, Joan of Arc, Alexander Pope (4ft 6in), Goya, Lord Byron, Franz Schubert (5ft 1in), Leo Tolstoy, JM Barrie (4ft 11in), Judy Garland (4ft 11in) and Yuri Gagarin (5ft 1in). Someone who wasn't short was Napoleon, who at 5ft 6½in was taller than the average Englishman at the time. Quite interesting facts about shortness

	REED FLUTE CAVE, CHINA Reed Flute Cave (Lu Di Yan), five kilometers northwest of the downtown of Guilin, China, is a limestone cave over 180 million years old. The cave is about 240 meters long and it is filled with stalactites, stalagmites and rock formations enhanced by multicolored lighting. Inside the cave are more than 70 inscriptions written in ink, which date as far back as 792CE (Common Era), in the Tang Dynasty (618-907CE). The formations within the cave are given names like Pines in the Snow, Mushroom Hill, Dragon Pagoda, Sky-Scraping Twin, Virgin Forests, Red Curtain, Crystal Palace, Dragon Pagoda, Virgin Forest, Flower and Fruit Mountain. One grotto, called the Crystal Palace of the Dragon King, served as an air-raid shelter during World War II. The cave contains a large slab of white rock hanging from a ledge, with a human-shaped stalactite on the opposite side. The name of the cave comes from a type of reed which grows outside, which can be made into flutes. — Amusing Planet
