The List
Author Kazan Smedry
World of Origin Earth (Alcatraz)

The List is a list of reasons why short people are better off than tall people according to Kazan Smedry. It is not clear if Kaz is serious about The List, but he takes every opportunity to recite from it.

Known items on The List

1. Don't argue with the short person. He's always right.[1]

15. Short people make smaller targets.[2]

28. Short people can find things easier and follow trails better because they are closer to the ground.[3]

47. Tall people's heads are in thinner atmosphere, causing oxygen deprivation, which causes their brains to not work as well as short people's.[3]

127. Short people have smaller bodies, but regular-sized hearts, so their heart-to-flesh ratio is larger, making them more compassionate.[4]

236. Short people are more humble.[1]

unknown #. Short people are better because it takes them longer to walk places, therefore they get more exercise.[1]
