Mankiw's blog brings notice this morning that "Matthew Weinzierl and I will be presenting The Optimal Taxation of Height at Boston College."

The questions being investigated is: 

"Should the income tax system include a tax credit for short taxpayers and a tax surcharge for tall ones?"

 It seems to me that the efforts of these two gentlemen could be better spent on looking at something with the  potential of impacting the human condition, then an adventure in silliness.
