[syko]

If this was really true, David Hasselhoff should be at least 12 feet!

[Roy Visser]

Well that is true, they always film him like they did with that dwarf from Lord Of The Rings.

[Wouter Melissen]

Ah that's why his pants are always so tight; they don't make them any larger.

[fpv_gtho]

The Dutch should be ruling the world if thats the case

[jorismo]

We are already ruling this forum, is that ok too?

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Wrong. The Aussies do :p

[fpv_gtho]

If that was true, UCP would be gone as all the advertising revenue would go towards beer money

[henk4]

where do you think it is going now?

[2ndclasscitizen]

Wrong. The Aussies do :p
Good to see you've realised that. You're not as stupid as I thought.

[Coventrysucks]

I can easily disprove this nonsense theory:

How many short people need signs warning them to "mind your head" on obstructions?

Doesn't sound that smart to me.

and can they actually see what is going on when it is said: "Mind your step"

[ScionDriver]

Ah, at 6'1" and a half I feel good, although as someone already pointed out, it isn't very tall. But I am about 5 inches taller than everyone else in my family and taller than the average person I still feel short sometimes.

[mclaren_crazy]

SilverG35SportC is 6'7" but hes no Einstein

Haha drew

[NSXType-R]

That's because they always need to worry about whether or not they're going to bang their head into the door frame, which keeps them on their toes. :D

[drakkie]

Acoording to a fast calculation i am 6 feet tall :) Just a shorty unfortunately :( But im still smart :D

[Rockefella]

I'm exactly 6 feet tall. I'm retarded though.

[SilverG35SportC]

[FutureGearhead]

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

I bet you haven't finished growing yet ;)

I am super-intelligent and I'm sort of average height. Flowers wilt at my omniscience and omnipotence. I am God.

Just in a very good disguise. I pretend to be stupid. If you knew how smart I was, you would all die a painful death.

[h00t_h00t]

How tall would Steven Hawkin be if he could stand?

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

How tall would Steven Hawkin be if he could stand?
That's not fair- his brain uses more percent than it would normally because his other functions have shut down.

[Egg Nog]

Robert Wadlow must've been &$)*(@$ing brilliant ;)

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Let's not forget Jaws, the idiot who had a metal mouth and stood very tall :p

[kentuki]

No wonder I'm such an amazingly intelligent stud.

6 feet is definitely not short!
The average American is 5'9.5".

[2ndclasscitizen]

I'd've thought 6ft was average height. I'm a touch under that and I'm not short, a couple of my mates are a little taller, a couple a little shorter

[baddabang]

This explains why im so smart. This whole time I thought it was because of all these.

Id say badda wins at what is it? 6'5" 6'6"?

[baddabang]

around there some place, but I'm not exactly sure.

when I got my licence 3 years ago they recorded me as 6'4". Then again that was 3 years ago :p

[Fleet 500]

I used to think so, too. But everything I've read about average height has 5'9" to 5'10".

[Fleet 500]

They put your height on your licence?

[henk4]

6 feet is definitely not short!
The average American is 5'9.5".

that is because of the mexican influence:)

[IBrake4Rainbows]

This only works because Tall people can laud over the small nerds and either copy their answers or beat them up to make them give the answers to them.

Still, why mess with the system ? :p

For the record - I stand 6'2. So many tall people on UCP - it must be a factual study then :p

6'2 is not tall for dutch standards though :)

im 6'7"ish :P

[baddabang]

They put your height on your licence?

You mean they dont there?

They put height and eye color, I think it limits people from faking ID's by posting their picture on somebody elses.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Nope - D.O.B, License Number, Address. License Qualifications.

And a Signiature.

MUCH easier to fake :p

[Zytek_Fan]

I am 6' 3" :D

[drakkie]

6'2 is not tall for dutch standards though :)


Thats why you'll never know how much it sucks to be short,even with 6" height :D

[clutch-monkey]
