Urban legend has it that the growth charts are based on German and Scandanavian farming families. In other words, Vikings.
So while at least 5% of kids are in the top percent in school, and there are at least 25 top twenty law schools, there are also probably 20% of all kids in the US who are in the bottom 5% in weight.
