But that's not the kicker.

Her family believes Weber, who was 5-foot-3 and barely 100 pounds, may have fallen headfirst into the space.

"She's a little thing," her mother said. "And the bookcase is 6 feet tall and solid. And she couldn't get out."

WHAT?!? I...uh...WHAT?!?

Would have been nice if they provided a picture of the women since I can't contemplate someone being that small.

Obviously, you've never dated small women.

Insert Ted Wallace quote here.

I'm 5 feet even and ~110 lbs... just barely legal to donate blood.

I googled for a pic but there's just a face shot. In any event, I've dated or been friends with women around that height and size . . . one friend/ex is 5'2", IIRC, and 105 lbs., and a friend of mine is married to one who's a couple of inches shorter and maybe ten pounds heavier.

But I guess Mars has lower gravity so they all grow taller there . . . except that there apparently aren't any since you need them. [Wink]

In any event, that's an absolutely horrible way to die. I'm hoping she was knocked unconscious by the fall and simply never woke up.

My wife is 5 foot and one half-inch. When she asks me to get her things down from the higher-up kitchen cupboards, I usually hold them over her head so she can't reach.

Read it on the BBC. Felt sorry for dead midget. Sniggered at stupid family.

Yes I have trouble understanding this concept you humans call 'love'.

Short women are cool...tough to slow dance with though.
The whole bookcase thing is sort of horrific- what a shitty way to die.

Heh, I say the same thing about tall people. (And back in middle school--when I was still only the size of the average 3rd or 4th-grader--when we did the three-legged race on field day, I always ended up paired with the one other geek in the class. Said geek was *already* five-foot-nine.

Both of us were the best at three-legged races, but not when paired up with one another. Gah. And I'd already had ankle problems before then...
