I quote:
| Being tall may raise your risk of colon cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer and pancreatic cancer. Scientists aren’t sure why. One reason may be that tall people have more cells in their bodies, which increases the number of cells that could become cancerous. Another reason may be that tall people grow faster as children. Faster growth is linked to changes in the genetic structure (DNA) of the body’s cells, eventually causing them to become cancerous. |
Being tall also increased my chance of being a good basketball or volleyball player, but that sure didn't happen.

Yah, but consider the source, I mean, what do they know!?
Oh great. I'm also 5'9".
Just one more thing to worry about. :)
I have seen you play basketball. It was excellent.
I don't even want to comment on the height thing.
Oh, my sister just told me that being tall also increases your chance of having fraternal twins. So, now you have that to look forward to as well.
