Looking Closer it appears that Lincoln's face is changed to someone els but I can't make out who. From my view..Beethoven? Can we have a closer look. I see you also have a calendar in English. Intersting.

This is a wild guess, but since you said rdywenur was close with a guess of Beethoven, could it be Chopin?

One thing that i notice (from your pics ) is that Polish boys seem to be so skinny. Must have something to do with the diet. i know when i was in Poland, it was almost impossible to fine a bulky Polish boy. I think it is more healthy and normal, i but i can;t help in thinking that a Polish high school would have a difficult time gathering up a team to play American football. Not enough bulk. Yes, Poles are generally skinnier than their American or even Western European counterparts. When I was in the States I was really surprised to see so many obese people. Not only obese, of robust build too. Americans have thicker bones and more muscular bodies. But, let`s not forget the following. 1. They are only 16 years old. They still have time to work out in the gym. 2. They go to a high school which is still an elite type of school in Poland. They are not well-built jocks but brains, so to say. They will work with their intellect, not muscles. 3. Three boys are professional soccer players, they train in the local club and are in its team. 4. The boys are strong even though they don`t look so. On St. Andrew`s Day we had some arm wrestling and I lost. hahahahahaha but I had been ill for some time before and I was weak hahahahaha

Americans have thicker bones and more muscular bodies. Pawian, being obese is an acquired trait, so "Americans" may be all obese if they all eat too much. Having thick bones is a genetical trait so if we say 'Americans have thicker bones" it resembles exactly the theories of Cesare Lombroso

Pawian, being obese is an acquired trait, so "Americans" may be all obese if they all eat too much. Not only. Scientists proved people`s genetic propensity to become obese at one stage of their life. Besides, have you ever seen children of obese people? They are as obese as their parents. It works in case of obese parents too. The genetic burden they give their children will easily develop into obesity if not controlled. I am skinny, no matter what and how much I eat and my sons are too. None will be obese, their genetic "burden" will make them skinny forever. Hmmm. But it is true that Americans have more muscular bodies. I observed it, George did and many other people. Big muscles are rested on big bones. The thicker bones, the better-built the body is. And it is genetic feature. What kind of people moved to the USA in the past? Wimps? Weaklings? No. The strong and brave people emigrated to America, the ones who didn`t fear the long voyage and hard work.

Pawian, succeptibilty to some syndromes is genetically defined you are right. Succeptibility to schizophrenia, diabetes, part of obesity cases, and many other diseases and syndromes is written in the genes. But not all people having susceptibility to these diseases written in the genes actually get sick (or obese). The envinronment plays its role here. In case we discuss here, someone with genetic succceptibility to obession who all his life is on low-calory diet will have very low chances to grow obese. Most of the case of obesity are plain over-eating however. And this is what happens to Americans, I am afraid.
Having thick bones is genetically defined in the zeo-one manner, Yoiu either have thick bones or you don't. So if you ascribe one trait defined by the gene of full penetration (zero-one trait) to the group of people like 'Americans" it smells of Cesare Lombroso. Just the way. say, long nose, was ascribed to the Jews, and karoffel-like features to Slavs. Mind that ideas of Lombroso formed the foundations of racism the German way 1933-1945. As to observation of Americans having thicker bones done by you and others - I am sorry but here democratic vote is not aplicable. They have bones like anybody else. Some have thick some have not. I tend to think that all kind of people emigrated to America both mentally and physically, Some were brave to travel, some were to weak to take for their lives were they originally lived. Some were fit for hard physical work, some were weaklings with big bright brains that couldn't stand injustice in the Old Word. And so on...

Succeptibility to schizophrenia, diabetes, part of obesity cases, and many other diseases and syndromes is written in the genes. But not all people having susceptibility to these diseases written in the genes actually get sick (or obese). Never is it so that ALL people behave like it`s written in books. But it is enough when most of them do. hahahaha There are very few people like that, most of those with propensity for obesity do not control their weight and don`t have a special diet. Not only over-eating. Fattening junk food plays role here. You don`t need to eat a lot of it, it is enough you do it regularly. Of course, there is a variety of bones in America. Yet, there are more of robust types in the USA than in Poland, and that`s a popular belief and observation. Some were this way or another, of course, I never said that all were strong and had stamina. It is again enough that most were like that hahahahahahaha
