TLC and E! Have already taught me this. Little People are inherently like-able and TV would have me believe procreating more little people is more likely. Whereas it takes exponentially longer for some dumb airhead to decide it's a good idea to get with a giant, and even then sometimes they're still not dumb enough…

ABS plastic molded into aircraft aluminum, with a carbon fiber or suede backing? Your arguments are all invalid.
