h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

5'7" I think....

6'1"

Big head.

Short legs.

Grin too much.

Five feet, six inches.

Emmily's remark reminds me of a school friend who always used to say she was "4 foot 11 and 3/4ths."

Randy Newman's "Short People" was a satire about the idiocy of bigotry. Some people didn't understand that, and it was banned from some U.S. radio stations. Score one for the humor-impaired.

6'1" and a bit.
Or 6'3" in my drinking wellies

Tall enough to hold my head up high with legs long enough to reach the ground. I guess around 23 imperial metres (thats six foot two, or was it two foot six )

6F8 out of my boots

Mental note - never allow Dent into his boots....

Tall enough to reach the ceailing,
Short enough to walk across the room unhindered by lampshades from the ceailing
tall enough to hit my chin on the enterence of a pub I went in once that had extrememly low ceilings
short enough to just about be able to lie in bit stretched out with my feet only slightly hanging of fthe edge.
no tape measure.

Dent: Six feet eight, really really?

Hmmmm so I am the smallest then?

Big Red, some years ago there was a TV prog. I don't remember much about it, I think part of it was anyone under 5ft had to live underground, and were not allowed out during daylight, or something like that. I think they got a lot of complaints, it didn't bother me, can't be this small without a sense of humour, and a big mouth to make up for the lack of height

Emmily

5ft8 and a bit..

I'm 6 feet 7 1/2 inches

Moonglum - I hope you meant 2.3metres or else you are 77feet tall - no that can't be right. You definately meant 2.3

I am 156cm or 5ft 2ins

6'3"

5'10"

short enough to walk through normal size doors, tall enough to breath the fresh air above people's heads at concerts

I think that programme was called "small people" and it was a satire about apartheid and other segregation issues. It had the bloke who played Mike out of the young ones in it I dont remeber it being all that funny, so although it was making a good point it didnt gett through to many people.

Given that the average male, when asked, will exaggerate their height by around 2 inches and that the average female will do so by 1 inch then what are the implications for this thread?

Me? I'm 5' 10"

Supposedly...

(PS, don't aske me where I got that from, it's lost in the mists of time, possibly a psychology student told me this once )

5'6" boring height, not short not tall, mediocre! Still I'm taller than most of my friends who are mostly pint size.

Well if nothing else this thread seems to have found another way to disseminate the sex of the ambiguous handles we all sign on with.

Under 5`10" probably Female
Over 6 feet almost certainly Male.



I was 6 feet and half an inch in the days of my youth. (First passport application ) Now -who knows or cares.

there are 3 girls on here over 6 foot and a few at around 5'10", 5'11".

me, i am 6'"2 although sometimes i am only 6'1" and on certain Saturdays i feel about 3mm
