Following on from the Seatbelt thread, it seems that quite a few Amigans here are shorties.(No wonder you all complained that those Amiga Inc T-shirts were too big)

So I'd like to find out the average height of an Amigan in a completely unscientific manner.

For our contintental/metric loving friends, 1 foot is 30ish centimetres. I'm too lazy to work out the exact amounts for each option.

If you're female, the descriptions need to drop down a level.

@yoodoo2

Well that's fscked up. Where did the very tall option go?

Anyway. For the record, I'm 6"2 normally and about 4"8 after a long programming session.

@yoodoo2

I'm 5' 10" and started to shrink.
I guess it has something to do with aging.

@yoodoo2

5' 8 3/4" last time I checked (for that lovely drivers license photo)

Wonder what it will be when I'm old though because we actually shrink with age! Also, our ears and nose will continue to grow as we age! Scary visual there.

Why? Please explain this to me

You put it in the wrong place- it's become the poll question instead. Polls can be awkward sometimes.

5' 4" here.

If you edit your options to include the Metric system I'm sure more would vote.
I don't think that many will bring out a calculator..

1 inch = 2..54 cm
1 foot = 12 inches = 30.48 cm.
100 cm = 1 m

Oh, I'm about 166 cm.

Ah, well spotted.

I'm not very good at the technical stuff.

Nah, you folks should learn to be adaptable to imperial and metric

(like all these people too lazy to work out what mph is in kmh, and always just want the speed in kmh)

(for those that care, mph => kmh * 5/8, and kmh => mph*8/5)

@The_Editor

My wife always says she's "5ft 2 and a biscuit" in an attempt to make her seem taller than her sister, who's just under 5ft 2.
