    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.

    its "feet", then the grammar thing (an apostrophy?, yes I fail), then "inches"

    12 inches = 1 foot

    1 inch = 2.5 cm

    EDIT: Gah! He even said it was an apostophy in his quote!

    I'm in the 5'9"-5'10" range(178 cm-182 cm for all you non-Americans) . Which, by most standards is rather average. However, in my group of friends, I'm the tallest one there haha

    It's most likely due to the fact that the average age around here seems to be in the early 20's, comparing myself to older generations I'm quite tall, but when compared to my generation, I'm only just slightly above average height.

    Its because they measured themselves from the bottom of their 5" Platform Shoes, to the top of their ten gallon Texas Cowboy Hats. Which of course they wore on the very top of their afro.
