And you win our prize, one of our listeners, the voice of anyone they might choose for their voicemail.
Bill, who is Lily King playing for?
I'm guessing they're fans.
Are you ready to do this?
Okay.
Here we go.
Here's your first question.
For centuries, psychologists have talked about the Napoleonic complex or the idea that short men could be more aggressive or ambitious than taller men.
But a 2007 English scientific study disproved it.
How did they do that?
Was it A, by hitting short men with sticks and seeing if they got angrier than tall men?
B, by asking short men how much they might enjoy conquering Europe?
Or C, simply by asking a bunch of short men if they were compensating for something and they all said, no!
Yeah.
Your choice is C?
They just asked them and they all yelled no?
Yeah.
No, it was actually A. No!
What they did, and this is true, is they would wrap men of various heights on the knuckles with sticks, and they noted that shorter men would react with less anger than taller men.
All right, you have two more chances.
