New Pride and Prejudice on the way; Snowy despairs

my mom was 5'10", but my dad's only like 5'5" or something... i get it all from my mom's dad, he was the shortest of three brothers at 6'4"... his brothers were 6'6" and 6'8".

 

That's awful Charles, all those damn puppy governments and their puppy ways. I think the only way to stop them is for you to erect a pussy government and entice them all into openly attack, where we can destroy them.

only wa be to do that you must chiren world fight bri order new right?

 

I may view myself as short, and that perception may be false, but when two of your friends are 6'4 and 6'5, it's hard to keep things in perspective .

 

ack, blinky never do that again. you made my head hurt.

 

Jar, so you blame how you've turned out on a Napolean complex?

Sorry Rosie...

 

Man as they get older can lose than inch or 2 by they backbones strinking in size when get in they 70's and 80's.

 

Wonderful Charles, I'll hold that information to my death.

 

So Jar being roughly 372 has lost about 8 inches? Wow, you are a shrimp you decrepit old bugger.

 

Jar isn't old. He's 15.

 

*sigh*

I used to be reasonably tall...I was something around 75th percentile when I was around 10...now I get the feeling I'm officially getting 'short'...well, at least, not tall. I'm about 172 cms tall (about 5' 6 1/2", American pigs)...but I could swear I was around that about a year ago ...it would REALLY suck if I stopped growing at 15...it happened to mein mother ...

 

Do I detect insecurity in your tone, you midget Australian bastard?

 

There once was 3 different inches,the Brit. inches, the american inch and the internation inch(used by mertic nation and bicyles maker worldwide) they all where slightly different from each other in lenght. The International inch was set = to 2.54 cm, while the america inch was 2.53999999 cm Nixon change the america inch to be = to the internation inch while the Brit inch disappear than gone missing.

 

Who else would have known such valuable information? And who else would care?

 

I am actually older than that. No, I will not tell you how old I am.

Not as bad as not growing until you're 15. On a relative side note, I never had a growth spurt, and ended up at the glorious height that I've reached today, so there's hope for you yet.

Short ass.

 

i'm gonna guess 26

 

Nixon as President want America to go total metric to save money in manufactoring cars, and other goods. Right now America is half metric and half old english units. Legal the old english arenot legality enacted by congress while the metric system is legal as it wasd approval by congress in 1989 by approvaling than treaty sign with metric useing nations.

Than car manufactor paid once to tool and die maker each year to set up the lines and parts to make than car useing old english unit and then again to set up lines and parts to make car to sell oversea. Carmon lenes are measure in metric like than 35 mm carmon, sharp plug for car use metric units. Durning WWII the army have maps of othersea that where in metric units they have the choice to convert those maps to old english units which would have taken too long or treach our man to use metric unit
which is not too hard to do. There are only 3 nation on this planet not useing metric two are backward nation and the other one is just plain supid and argonate nation.

 

Again, not many people care.

So wait, which country is the stupid arrogant one?

 

Well, you use imperial and the Brits do and I'm not sure who else - but I'd say it's you.

 

Brits use metric now. The EU forced them as I recall.

Of course it's us; hating the US is fashionable now dontchaknow.

 

Brits don't really use metric.
They fake it in a few things, but they are still pretty damn imperial based.
