<p>I thought it was implied that CCers fall into the latter category ;) And short people are so cool. I think most of my friends (well, the ones of the female type, anyways) are shorter than I.</p>

<p>The only annoying short people are the ones with Short Man's Inferiority Yelling Complex.</p>

<p>I can't. I'm Asian. I have no body hair. Besides, I'm of the female persuasion. </p>

<p>zante: they heard your New Yorker accent and directed you to the "out-of-towner" transportation lines. :) We're mad for the Sox, but not stupid!</p>

<p>Save it for a rainy day. I'm sure you'll eventually have reason to whip it out again :)</p>

<p>Umm...your stupid "T" are named after colors...how kindergarden is that? Is that before you can count and say the alphabet?</p>

<p>tebro, i don't want to hear about asian body hair.</p>

<p>lol. I'm in a country where people dont have beards, moustaches, or even side-burns...Im considered a freak when I actually grow my sideburns...it annoys the koreans no end.</p>

<p>Asians really don't have body hair though lol.</p>

<p>squeamish, aren't you? </p>

<p>lemme tell you about my second uncle thrice removed and put back into the institution. Now that was a man with chest hair. He looked like a gorilla! At the age of sixteen, he could sell the best wigs in alllll of China. And my great-granduncle, twice removed forcibly from the premises by large men with pigtails, said to my grandmum, twice removed because you know, she was THAT kind of woman, "wumman, he ain't asian!" </p>

<p>and that is power asian hair.</p>

<p>asians around my part always grow their hair long and dye it a strange crimson red. for a time i thought they were like "the bloods" and a part of some gang. then i realized it's just some sort of asian fetish.</p>

<p>here all asians like dying their hair blonde, or shaving their heads.</p>

<p>here, they grow it naturally, get haircuts and keep it black. we're boring.</p>

<p>um. head hair, that is.</p>

<p>Wow, it seems I missed an <em>interesting</em> convo. I just came to post a link and saw that cev had already posted it....c'est la vie.</p>

<p>If only all the CC fun didn't occur at 4am UK time. Bah.</p>

<p>Now you know how I feel, Kebree =)</p>

<p>LOL! Now of that 3.9%, 2% have a hook, so anyone of european ancestery living in an upper middle class suburb who applied to Princeton simply made a donation. This admissions thing is completely, totally out of control. Out of control.</p>

<p>Strange how apps decreased at Princeton last year and wildly increased at Yale. This year, apps wildly increased at Princeton and decreased slightly at Yale. One would think Y+P would rise and fall together with the number of high school seniors.</p>

<p>It looks like Princeton will pass Yale (#1 last year) in acceptance rate this year, but Harvard will have the lowest. Yale will go from #1 to #3 in terms of pure acceptance rate, though the rate will remain the same (roughly 9.9% again).</p>
