asking that a new appointee be se
lected from the Pacific Coast.
Giants are never born of gignn
lic parents, according to Encyclo
paedia Britannica, because ex
tremely large people are usually
sterile. This is true generally of
men and women more than seven
feet tall. Dwarfs, or people mea
suring less than four feet, are also
sterile as a rule.
An acre of land used to mean
the amount a yoke of oxen could
plow in one day, according to the
Encyclopaedia Britannica, and a
foot was actually estimated by the
length of a man’s foot.
