Basketball players and hotels

There are several sports that I enjoy watching on TV and basketball is one of them. European Championship 2009 in Poland is taking place right now and Slovenian team is already in the semi-final. Why I am talking about basketball? Because basketball players are notoriously tall and usually have large problems fitting into standard beds. Did you ever consider that with the average population height in the world rising, beds will have to be longer, also in hotels? And if the beds are longer, the bed sheets, blankets etc. will also have to be longer. That must be exciting news for furniture and bed linen producers all over the world. On the other side bigger sheets require more water, detergent and energy to be washed which represents jet another burden on the environment. Every coin has two sides, doesn’t it?

Well, good luck to our boys at the semi-final against Serbia today! I wish that they had a good night sleep and that their beds were long enough!
