6'1 here.

i have noticed that at around 6'3+ some sort of spacial stretching **** occurs

me standing next to someone 6'2-3 = look them in the eyes normally, does not feel weird.
6'4 = break my neck looking up, they are clearly a foot taller than me when we stand side by side, they only shrink when measured.

We did get to the moon first, you may remember. And we have units of mass ... look up the slug. It applies about 32.2 lbs of force in 1g.

(back onto this off-topic discussion, I'm 5'5.5" I don't even think I'm short.)

and absolute temperature. Check out Rankine.

I'm 5'10" and I don't think I'm tall. I believe I am average.

USSR. 1959.

It seems your custom text is correct once again, my apologies.  Though the USSR did technically crash an unmanned craft into the moon, versus a full-fledged moon landing and return (unless my brief googling has led me astray).  But yes, USSR did get to the moon first.  Interesting.  I learned something today!

Edit: you changed your location,   :'(

USA had people on the moon first. Unless you count belgium with Tintin's "On a marché sur la Lune (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explorers_on_the_Moon)"

Secret places, and very selectively.  :P

I used to buy from zappos but their selection isn't the greatest. Then CBA told me about 6pm and I bought three pairs at once.  :))

When in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington, or West Virginia...

I really do need to have a more appropriate sense of humor.  I just like to tease Hoff since he's such a stand up and up and up guy.

No, only around 182cm.  But cards LIKE that, with my height on them.  I seemed to reach 6' at school before anyone else did.

Hoff what's your wingspan? I've heard that the taller you are the more likely it is that you have a positive ape index. The average is 0, I'm a 4 (my wingspan is 4in more than my height)

Apparently a normally proportioned body from wing tip to wing tip, er I mean finger tip to finger tip with the wings outstretched is the same as your height.

I have long legs & arms and a shorter torso, so I'm more ape.

not like 4" though that's crazy
