    Napoleon was 5'6.5" in the English system, which was average for the time and even today is perfectly respectable.

    You are mistaken. The French autopsy has him at 5'2", which in English feet is 5'6.5".

    I disagree- 5'5" is average for a woman now, 5'6 is pretty small for a guy. I think average for a man is somewhere around 5'9".

    But it's not too unusual is the thing. I mean, he would be short, but not too much of an oddball.

    I'm about 5'10, 5'11 myself, and I'd consider myself on the shorter side of average. Then again, maybe that's just the whole "been short my whole life" attitude shining through.

    5'10/11 is pretty tall dude, I'm 6'1" and I'm one of the tallest people I know, just because you aren't NBA material doesn't mean you're short. There is a chance you could have been a lot shorter, but not a huge chance that you'd have been much taller.

    You probably look the same. In the morning bones are stretched, so you gain 2 inches...

    I love tall babes :D

    Actually there is new evidence that Napoleon was poisoned, but I have no fucking clue what Charles is ranting about.

    Men get shorter after pregnancies?

    Hey Rosie, 5'11" is really tall for a woman, how tall are your parents? I'm 5'7" and a lot of people say I'm tall.

    5'7" isn't really tall, but it's definitely not short for a woman.

    I see that you're a Admin now, snowy..
