They benefit from high altitude, a culture which values good runners and an unusually high percentage of their muscle mass is posture muscle (endurance) rather than twitch (strength). Funnily on the west coast of Africa (the ultimate origin of many Jamaicans) the twitch/posture ratio is reversed, which makes for very good sprinters and other sports requiring explosive power.
me too, I was sad when I learned he is no longer a planet

It's a planet, it's just a dwarf planet. Little People are still people, but if you deny or ignore their stature then you're denying a fact that many of them take pride in.
so Pluto went through a rollercoaster of events within a "day". Poor thing.
A day is a turn around itself, a turn around the sun is a year. (sorry for bad English)

People forget...it's still technically a planet but rather than being a major planet like all the others it's been demoted to a minor planet.
Pluto is still a planet. It's in a new class called Dwarf Planets and is one of six. So another way to look at it, we no longer have 9 planets; we have 14.
The surface area of Pluto is smaller than the surface area of Russia.
People act like Pluto has disappeared. It's still there folks, it just isn't considered a planet anymore.
In fact Pluto did less than one third of an orbit during its time as a planet. BTW, I fully agree with the decision to classify Pluto as not a full planet. Its orbit is highly elliptical as well as being far off the plane of the ecliptic. It's obviously a trans-Neptunian object like Eris, Haumea and Makemake, and not a planet.
Why are people so concerned if Pluto is classified a planet or not? It's not like scientists are denying it's existance.
Australia's diameter is 600km wider than the moon's. The moon sits at 3400km in diameter, while Australia's diameter from east to west is almost 4000km.
I once saw a document about sloths. One of them fell in the water, where an aligator was. But He manage to swim away *mindblow*!!!!

Oh I think the Roman days one is gone. Or maybe I didn't look properly lol now I'm gna check again :D
In other words, unlike modern times where one day is 24 hours, a winter day would require fewer hours from beginning to end than a summer day. This is because a day started at dawn and ended at dusk
