How tall are you?

I'm 5'10 1/2" so I round up to 5'11"".

How about you?

If I was 4 inches shorter, I'd be required to use a booster seat when driving the car.

I think gravity compresses your spine over time.

Do you suppose Lipitor will help with that?

As close to 6' as one can be. It's also precisely 6' from finger tip to finger tip (which has proven to be handy (sic) over the years)

Last time I measured, I was 185cm (6 foot something). That was a few years ago, but I doubt it would have changed too much.

If you're travelling at an average speed of 100 km/h, it would take you 0.0666 seconds to traverse the length of my body, assuming no time is spent at rest areas, etc.

5' 7".

I've been this height since I was in 5th grade. I'm average now, but was a giant then. This is why I don't wear high heels (along with the fact that they frickin' hurt).

I'm 6' 6.5" tall, last time I was measured properly. I've grown a little over an inch and a half in the last 7 years, too (I was just under 6'5" when I was 30).
