Adora

Adroa is a god of the Lugbara

aspects: one good and one evil. He is the creator of Heaven and Earth, and he
appears to those about to die. Adroa is depicted as a tall, white man with only
half a body – one eye, one arm, one leg, one ear. |

Tall
Blacks
|
The Tall Blacks is the nickname of New Zealand's national men's basketball team. The name was chosen as it reminds
people of New Zealand's Rugby
Union team, the All
Blacks. For sponsorship reasons, they are often referred to in New Zealand
media as the Burger King
Tall Blacks.
The Tall Blacks competed at the 2000 Sydney Olympics and finished with a
1-5 record, their only win coming against Angola in the playoff for eleventh.
In 2001 they defeated Australia
in a three-game series to qualify for the 2002 FIBA World Championships in
Indianapolis. At the tournament they finished fourth, after beating Puerto Rico in the
quarter-finals before losses to Yugoslavia and Germany. Tall Blacks captain Pero Cameron was the only non-NBA player named to
the all-tournament team in Indianapolis.
The Tall Blacks qualified for the 2004 Athens Olympics but again finished
with a 1-5 record and lost to Australia in the playoff for ninth place. Their
most noted moment was on the 7th day of the games, when they beat Serbia and
Montenegro (the world champions) 90:87.
Probably the most well-known New Zealand player in the National Basketball Association
is San Antonio
Spurs forward Sean Marks,
who is in his fifth NBA season. Another New Zealand player, former University
of Wisconsin star Kirk
Penney, signed in 2005 with two-time
defending Euroleague champions
Maccabi Tel Aviv. |

List of heights of United States presidential candidates |
This is a list of heights of United States presidential candidates.
The list was created to compare the folk wisdom about U.S. presidential politics that the taller of the two
major-party candidates always wins or always wins since the advent of the
televised presidential debate, etc.
An example of this view is included in a 2003 essay by New York Times writer Virginia Postrel
about artificially increasing the height of growth-stunted children: "Still,
being short does, on average, hurt a person's prospects...The tall guy gets the
girl. The taller presidential candidate almost always wins." A 1988 article in
the Los Angeles
Times fashion section about a haberdasher devoted to clothing shorter men
included a variation of the tale: "Stern says he just learned that Dukakis is 5 feet, 8
inches. 'Did you know,' he adds, noticeably disappointed, 'that since 1900 the
taller of the two candidates always wins?' "
In reality, for the 43 elections in which the height of which both candidates
is known, the taller candidate won 25 times (or 60 percent of the time), the
shorter candidate won 15 times (36 percent of the time) and the candidates were
the same height two times (five percent of the time). Therefore, the taller
candidate has won the majority of elections, but the tall-short margin of
victory is by no means overwhelming. |

Giraffes are one of the world's tallest mammals. They are well known for their
long necks, long legs, and spotted patterns. Giraffes have small "horns" or
knobs on top of their heads that grow to be about five inches long. These knobs
are used to protect the head in fights. |
