#height reduction

[shaunwoo1988]

I am obsessed with the idea of being short and Buffy. I wish I could loose 6 inches in height and be at 5’5’’. Then my current 198lbs weight will be massive.

Salicylic acid pre-treatment effects on Beta vulgaris L. multigerm germination and germination indices

The response of Beta vulgaris L. seeds to pre-treatment with salicylic acid (SA) was investigated at the early seedling stage and focused on germination indices to evaluate seed quality at a particular treatment. To achieve this goal, beet seeds were treated with various concentrations of salicylic acid (0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, 2.0, 2.4, 2.8, 3.2, 3.6, 4.0, 4.4, 4.8, 5.2, 5.6, 6.0 and 6.4 mM) along with control. The experiment was conducted with a dark red variety of beet seeds. Seeds exhibited more tolerance up to 2.0 mM SA treatment. High concentrations (>2.0 mM) of SA delayed the mean germination time of seeds and increased relative injury rate and seedling height reduction. However, germination percentage, germination index, seed vigor, water uptake percentage reduced significantly. Total inhibition of seed germination was found at 5.2 to 6.4 mM SA treatment. Rudimentary seedling growth was observed from 3.6 mM SA to further treatments. From morphological results, this study proposes that up to 2.0 mM of salicylic acid treatment may be helpful in seed germination and seedling growth of the beet. Also, this study might be helpful for further research on the influence of salicylic acid on the growth and development of beets.

*Not To Scale.

I don't know why I'm this tall.

I hate it.

5'11 and people think I'm good at basketball.

I'm not. I suck.

I'm not going to help you reach that book on the high shelf, ok?

YOU get it. I don't want to help you.

Are there "height reduction" surgeries?

Because I feel so tall, so giant...

I just want to be short. And normal.

Cause I feel that everything that I interact with is tiny.

my pencils. iPhone. Hell, even the computer keys (well, I rage more about the iPhone keys).

But I like building things with those tiny LEGOS. Trains, Space Shuttles, the Millennium Falcon. I really like building stuff with LEGOS, even though they make my hands look really big in comparison. 

No, I don't know what they say about big hands, ok?

I don't even how that "correlation" got started in the first place. I think mid-90's tho, cause I remember Chucky said it in the most recent movie.

I heard they're making a new one. Hopefully they'll still use the doll, cause if they use CGI... It'll ruin the whole "vibe" for me.

Like Transformers. Graphics were amazing, but plot was stupid.

So you want me to believe that NASA's true purpose to go to the Moon was to discover the Transformers who were on the Dark Side of the rock, huh, Buzz Aldrin?

Ok, whatever.
