Prince Ali! You look so much cooler than me.

Yes but at least you can stand up straight!

Nice observation. Mind you, many times I cannot stand up straight owing to the low ceilings of public buses and seats seemingly designed for Snow White's seven dwarfs. I have to admit I am 6 feet 3.5 inches tall though.
Netty and I share the same fate I guess.
I can't help wondering what
Prince Ali's nationality is. He doesn't really look American. Could he be Scandinavian?
Of course, anyone can see that I'm Mediterranean, judging by my skin colour. Strangely, I'm a little darker in complexion to the average Maltese. In fact, a guy in class said I look like an Egyptian.

Isn't it strange? We, the Maltese, are Mediterranean - but you see tons of people of very light skin colour, and a substantial amount who are fair (blonde hair and all).

Then there are others on the other extreme, who are darker than average, like me (or
Escapay, but he's not Maltese). Then, the dominant group are a balance of the two.
What do you make of these topsy-turvy skin colour patterns?
And
ichabod, have you ever posted a pic of yourself on this thread?
