    6'1" Here in Hawaii that makes me quite tall.

    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    Six foot four inches.

    Oh yeah, feel the awesomeness.

    That said, I'm starting to get quite annoyed with people's comments "Wow, you're tall!". An old man in the supermarket the other day even stopped me to say that I was the tallest person he'd ever seen.

    For those of you fed up with the "What's the weather up there like?", I heard of a story of a (tall) girl who kept being teased about her height by a much shorter guy at a party. After the umpteenth time, she tipped her glass over his head and said simply "It's raining".

    So King Henry, I wonder, do we look like ants from up there? Do you need an oxygen mask and are your legs built earthquake-proof?
    Also how does the start of a space shuttle look from above? Do you sometimes take a star and give it to a girl? Are you friends with the man on the moon?
    Ok, seriously, I guess most people only make these silly jokes because they're jealous or just for smalltalk. I consider myself average though I note a lot of smaller people ask me to get something for them that they can't reach, at work for example, let's just say you can make fun of everyone in some way and I find it easier with small people actually than with tall ones(as the lame questions I made up above should indicate).
    I wouldn't worry too much about it.

    6'2" exactly. Which meant I was a giant in NYC, but dead average in Wisconsin, where all of these darn Swedes and Germans settled.

    Six two appears to be some sort of magic number, I've noticed. Quite a few men who were noticeably shorter than me have claimed to be six two, which kinda makes me wonder why they say it.

    5 feet 11. Whenever someone ask for my height I just say six feet.

    edit: I'm the same height as Beefy, how interesting

    6'1.5" here. There are two IT guys at my school that are just under 7' and 5'3". It really is weird seeing them stand next to each other

    I'm 5'6. I traded in the other 4 feet for adamantium bones, retractable claws, healing factor and heightened senses. Oh I wear size 11 shoes too in case you're wondering.

    You can find love and you can be succesful. Just look at these people.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
