I’m going to plot the results onto a graph, see if there’s a pattern. And then add us all together, see how far we’d stretch towards the moon. And other such fun with statistics.

Seriously, I can’t remember ever checking my height before now. It turns out I’m actually 5 foot, 11 ½ inches, aka 182 centimetres. And now I want to know if that makes me statistically normal.

Well, I'm a short arse: 5 foot 8 inches.

I'm a bobossBOY by the way.

Are you going to share the results once you've plotted the graph?

Of course I’ll be sharing! Hypergraphs arefor sharing, right?

Ohh, but, is gender a proper *statistical* consideration, though? Should I be plotting pink dots and blue dots on my graph? Dude, I rather think not, but I wouldn’t want to reduce all this valuable data into worthless jumble of dots because I haven’t thought it through properly. Hmm.

'Bout 5'5", 5'6", I think.

Mordant! - be more specific, how is BH supposed to do a graph with your non-specific height!?

Short. Five foot three. And a half. - same as Buffy y'know.

Wow, I always imagined you as tall, olulabelle.

Mind you, you're tall compared to me. I'm 4' 10-and-a-half" or 148cm

Should I be plotting pink dots and blue dots on my graph?

Hey, it's all the same to me. Ignore sex and I just end up looking taller.

This reminds me of a story from me yoof. In year seven my maths teacher asked us to tell him our height and each person would be calling theirs out (in feet and inches) and he'd keep replying "no you're not". After the protestations of indefatigable Li'l Loomis, teacher says: "Actually, you're not x'xx", you're yyy centimetres. Australia is a metric country."

Twat.

I hope you told him inches don't stop magically existing inside the border. And set his car on fire. Baggy trousers, baggy trousers, baggy trousers......

I kept my mouth shut, wisely as it turned out. Not only was this teacher rather large and with crazy hair and beard, but over the years I discovered that he was a bit of a loose canon and a pisshead. I was reliably informed that he was once seen late at night charging through town with no shoes on and a case of beer on his shoulder. Scary.

I'm a short for a man 5'5"

5'7". I was the tallest in my class when I was 13, but had by that point stopped growing so my teenage years were characterised by a slow realisation that I'm not really that tall.

That happened to me too Vincennes, at 12 I was the tallest in my school, and now at 26 and 5'10" I'm...well not that tall really.

Ariadne

14:21 / 08.04.05

Heck, at primary school I was one of the tallest in my class. That seems a bit unbelievable now.

Spaniel

14:22 / 08.04.05

Vincennes, you're reasonably tall for a woman.

Loomis

14:25 / 08.04.05

I was one of the tallest babies in my ward. Didn't last though ...

Ariadne

14:28 / 08.04.05

I was a particularly long foetus. They thought my Mum had worms at first.

5'10" and male. How serious are you going with the charting? Should we go all out and include age, weight, race, eye color, favorite vegetable? Inquiring minds need to know (useless information)!

Spaniel

14:29 / 08.04.05

Well, I was an enormous zygote but then I went and split in half...

Boboss -I realise that on reading the thread, but throughout school all my friends (girls also) were very tall. I think our group averaged at about 5'9", (must be the good Scottish air) so I started to think of myself as being 'the wee one'!

Aertho

14:35 / 08.04.05

Boboss has a Leia? Or a Leio? Is ze 5'8"?

Ariadne

14:36 / 08.04.05

I reckon people pick friends of a similar size - most of mine were wee.

Spaniel

14:38 / 08.04.05

Pappuce is my twin, and he's shorter than me by about an inch and one whole half!
