This one got me interesting while babbling to Ush...

How tall is everyone here?

(note: one feet = 30 centimetres)

I'm 1m89 or 6 feet 3

Who's the tallest? who's the smallest?

ToMacco
I'm 5 ft. 11 inches

mah
I'm 1m85

Ushgarak
About 5' 9''

queeq
1, 87m.

Ratcat
1.86m

sand person no. 10
i'm 5'9"

Kiwi Leia
Im five foot eight or 174 cm

so is the next question going to be how eavy everyone is?????

Dim
Oh man...I hope not eek!

I'm 5 ft 3 inches or 1.60m

Ratcat
Currently 118kgs, who wants to go next?

Aquarius87
i'm 5",7 and i weigh 58 kgs....
aww my kitten is chewing on my ear lobe,hehe

finti
1,80m even and 80kg

Ratcat
And Dim said that 86Kg was too light for me to want to get to...

finti
confused confused huh?

Lara
I'm 5'7" well I think any way! confused

Dim
Quit obsessing about it and start seeing your body for more than it's weight.

barbie_girl
i am a likkle 5'' so its not hard to find someone biga dan me!

Ratcat
If that was aimed at me then all I can say is that I wish to lose weight purely for health reasons, and there's nothing wrong with obsessing about that.

I'd be happy to be 220lbs (100Kg), which is about right for my build. Being even 40lbs over weight can put amazing pressure on the heart and when you have a minor heart condition it's a good idea not to put excess pressures on it.

Then again, if you weren't talking to me then you just wasted 10 seconds reading that.... stick out tongue

yerssot
hey! Topic is about how tall people are! NOT their weight! (it's rude to ask that to a girl!)

BTW: Ratcat, a good tip is: after eating your dinner (let's say, that's around 7) don't eat anything for the next 4 hours, after that, you go to sleep or whatever (but don't eat again!)
May sounds strange but it's affective... normally

Ratcat
Another tip is not not to use food as a means of stress relief..... laughing out loud

yerssot
hmm... Ratcat, that tip I gave you was ment seriously, it works!

Aquarius87
This is the most effective way its playing sport,and you can eat whatever you want.
Except fast food,now thats just bad for you completely.

yerssot
on topic again?

Ratcat
Thing is Yers, by 7 I'm normally either in the Gym, at a class or (on a Friday) putting the kids to bed....

We eat our evening meal at about 4pm. And I was perfectly serious about the stress relief thing.

Anyhow, I've re-lost 7lbs since New Year. I have a very good incentive as well.

If don't make 236lbs by 16th May then I don't get to see Episode-II......... Now can you really imagine ME letting that one slip??? eek! eek! eek!

Ushgarak
HOW much??!

yerssot
eating at 4 pm isn't exactly healthy eather, it's too early

Ushgarak
Oh, MAKE 236. I thought you said LOSE 236. Phew!

Ratcat
Well, that does depend on when you eat you other meals and your general routine....

B'fast 6-7am
Lunch 11:30ish
Dinner4-5

Aquarius87
Yes and including all those snacks in between,It doesn't matter anyway this is the world we live in now its so much easier and we should take indulging for granted because not alot of the world has got that opportunity,But as i said,Sport is the key to being a healthy person.

Ratcat
A very good point, though I have to say I'm off of snacking between meals right now... smile

finti
thats a load off crap.
They say you shouldnt eat any hot meals after 21:00, anything else is more or less fine. Dinnertime in Norway is between 16:00 and 17:00. Cause it fits with the working hours of Norway, and one should keep, as RC mentioned, steady routines for the meals

yerssot
ok...
but you are Norse, you can take that wink

Gundark
Whoa, you use military time over there, finti ?

Breakfast is a glass of orange juice chugged around 6:30am.

Lunch (if I have time) is usually a subway six inch veggie, no cheese or mayo.

Dinner (around 5:30 pm) can be just about anything. Usually chicken or fish, double veggies and potato for the old man. I'm happy with a dish of pasta and a pile of stir fried veggies.

No snacks or alcohol except on weekends.

Its hard, but it works for me if I want to stay around 130 lbs.

I'm 5' 3" 3/4".

yerssot
Luckily you put in that last phrase, otherwhise I would think that people ignored me directly...

finti
Yes we do dont have to bother with the am pm thing that way.

yerssot
am: ante meridiem
pm: post meridiem

cool

finti
am after midnight
pm past midday big grin big grin

yerssot
you try for once to be intelligent ...

finti
no need trying what i already am

yerssot
that's a first one ...

Ratcat
Gee, this one is seriously off of course now.

yerssot
actually, a big shame!
who hasn't said how tall (s)he is?

Ratcat
Are you conducting some kind of forum census?

yerssot
I just need to know that, just needed for when I become emperor here... poodoo! I mean... when I become... euhm... spy here! Yeah! That's right! Spy!

Edna Witch
I have no idea how tall I am. And all I have to measure myself with is a 15cm ruler! Not gonna happen!

Dim
seems like you said once that you're 5'3"

Edna Witch
grown since then surely! I'm a growing lass!

Dim
You're 18!...surely not.. I hit my adult height just before I turned 13..

Edna Witch
Oh you would be suprised. I'm still just a little kid really. Still have milk teeth actually. two left on the bottom

Dim
hmmmmmm...must be some weird British genetic thing.

Ushgarak
Nothing British about it; Edna just has a freaky "no replacement teeth" thing going on in her mouth.

Edna Witch
I do have awful teeth. I mean they look fine but when you know what has been and what is still wrong with them it's a whole different story. They have always been perfectly healthy though. Never a single filling.

finti
never a filling, now that is impressive. I have had six all of them when I was 8. Dentist ended up on my death list after that.
The reason why they are still on my death list is they charges a fortune just for a 15 min check up. mad

yerssot
smile
Still the tallest!

keokiswahine
how tall is tallest? confused

barbie_girl
is there any1 eho is smaller than me or am i still little miss tiny around here?

mah

Zereil
s' 10''

barbie_girl
yes im winnin for being the smallest at the little size of 5'' but i bet i have the biggest mouth.

good things come in little packages

the littlest bugs deserve the biggest and bestest hugs!

Ushgarak
Sounds about right!

LanceWindu
Me and Yerss are actually tied at the tallest. I am also 6'3. Don't know exactly if there any extra cenimeters or not.

Captain REX
I'm probably about 5'8". I weight 140 pounds.

What is a big mouth good for? eek!

LanceWindu
Big hug for BG!

Captain REX
Uh...I think I'll stay out of that hug.

yerssot
why?
She can use a good hug wink

*hugs BG*

Captain REX
Okay then.

*Hugs BG*

mah
this is turning into a big group hug!

keokiswahine
*runs into thread*

I need a hug, I need a hug.

*runs into group for a biggie huggie*

yerssot

*hugs keo*

LanceWindu
Bear hug!

yerssot

LanceWindu
Hey I'm in this hug to. Let's just squeeze everyone close together.

yerssot
but you're a ... boy eek!

LanceWindu
And there are girls in this hug to squeeze closer to us. We can do it we are the biggest guys here.

yerssot
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE!!!!

LanceWindu
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE!

Captain REX
*Lance and Yerss are squeezed so hard that...*

POP!!!

*...there heads pop off.*

yerssot
strange, we are the biggest around so normally your head should pop off

Captain REX
*REX's head pops off*

POP!!!

I'm one of the biggest too. I'm almost 6 feet and I'm 14.

LanceWindu
Why did our heads pop off when we where the ones squeezing everyone?

Captain REX
I DON'T KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LanceWindu
Whatever.

::Picks up head and screws it back on::

Captain REX
Have you seen my head? Eyes, nose, mouth, ears?

LanceWindu
Nope

Captain REX
Well, tell me if you do. It's kind of round.

LanceWindu
Big to right?

Captain REX
Yes. Oh, wait, here it is!!!

*Picks up head and screws it on*

It was in the refrigerator. Brain freeze!!! I can't think! AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

LanceWindu
Those always suck.

keokiswahine
*pours hot blue milk smoothy into Rex's mouth, making sure it sloshes in cheeks to help thaw brain*

ok, Rex, swallow slowly. good going, chappy big grin big grin roll eyes (sarcastic) roll eyes (sarcastic) stick out tongue stick out tongue evil face evil face smokin'

Captain REX
Especially while it's eating a 5 foot tall mound of ice cream. Yummy.

LanceWindu
5 feet tall?!? That would freeze your brain for a year.

Captain REX
Did I say 5 feet? I ment 5,000 feet.

LanceWindu
Rest of your life now.

Captain REX
Oh. I mean 5 zillion feet.

LanceWindu
Even after your dead your desendents will have a brain freeze.

keokiswahine
now engrained into his genes and chromosomes. laughing out loud laughing out loud laughing out loud

LanceWindu
Yup, he just screwed his whole family.

keokiswahine
*watches him head for the blood bank for a complete blood transfusion* ahem, yuuuuuu huuuuuuuuu, transfusions don't work when you have green blood. laughing out loud laughing out loud laughing out loud

LanceWindu
They aren't going to have your blood type at all.

BTW, because you ate that much ice-cream you now have diabetes.

Captain REX
Oh. I ment 5 inches. Are you talking about the blue milk that Aunt Beru makes? That yogmash. Yummy.

keokiswahine
blue milk smoothies rule !!! big grin big grin big grin smokin' rolling on floor laughing

yerssot
and Luke kept drinking and drinking and drinking!

finti
he did????

yerssot
In ANH, Beru pours in some blue milk for Luke, when he arrives he pours in some more blue milk...
I think he has a drinking problem!

finti
roll eyes (sarcastic) whatever

yerssot
you haven't noticed it? It's quite fun...

finti
roll eyes (sarcastic) whatever

yerssot
to get back ontopic:
I hope Hayden Christ. grows a bit, he's 1m85 now, but David Prowse was 2m01...
Sebastion Shaw was 1m98

keokiswahine
how old is hayden? 19??? he'll grow for another 2 years or so.

yerssot
don't know actually...
Too lazy to check

mah
isn't it so that most stop growing before that?

yerssot
I hope so! I don't want to grow a lot anymore!

keokiswahine
females normally stop growing when puberty starts. Males can grow into their early 20s.

yerssot
are you a doctor?
Or is this supposed to be common knowledge?
(then I know I failed biology for a reason wink )

Captain REX
Well, at least it has to do with height. Although, let's not go into the puberty stuff. It's uncalled for. Plus, I've had enough of that already (Stupid Growth and Developement Class!).

keokiswahine
got it from a few medical news articles and personal observation

yerssot
you are edwucated wink
I like it...

But what if Hayden is 28 and just has a baby-face?

Captain REX
Personal Observation? I think I'm gonna hurl...

yerssot
For hurling, please use the other side of the table

keokiswahine
just watch your brothers, they'll still be growing to about age 22. 28 and baby facers age very slowly.

Captain REX
Oh. I thought you ment "observation." That's why I was going to hurl.

yerssot
yeah, ok, you stay on that side

Captain REX
What? It was just a misunderstanding. I don't need to hurl anymore. Isn't that great?

yerssot
everything is great ... from a certain point of view

Captain REX
OB1 Jr. Oh no!

keokiswahine
*backs away slowly; puts plexiglass shield in front of body*

yerssot
it's not that he's going to use explosives K,
but ... wise decision...
*searches bigger plexiglass*

Gundark
I can't stop thinking of that photo EJ had posted of Hayden's hair on top of Mark's picture. I'm still half blind from that one.

Captain REX
Oh no! NO! Everyone thinks I'm weird! Ahh!!!

yerssot
thinks? thinks?

Lloyd: 1m35
Hayden: 1m85
Prowse: 2m01
Shawn: 1m98

Captain REX
How about Shaquille O'neal?

LadyEowyn
(back on topic)-well i think im the smallest. 4'9"
sad isnt it. my mom says i have a calcium problem.

Ushgarak
Oh, parents ALWAYS say stuff like that. And you still have time to grow more, don't you?

LadyEowyn
i hope so! lets see...when do people usaully stop growing?

Ushgarak
Well now, I have never been too sure of that; Edna is still growing at 18 so it can be pretty variable. Not that there is anything wrong with being small.

LadyEowyn
except i cant reach the top of my locker, my freinds literally look down on me while i look up to them, but otherwise i like being small. when the halls get crowded, i can wiggle out easily!

Ushgarak
Hmm... not being able to reach the top of a locker... that DOES sound a little extreme!

Don't let anyone tread on you!

LadyEowyn
you dont have to worry about that...being knee hight to everyone else makes it easy to kick. oh...and play double dutch!

(i just as the kid next to me if he can get my jacket up and down everyday. i dont think he minds) roll eyes (sarcastic)

Ushgarak
But everyone else would kick YOU in the head! Ow!

Hey, if he doesn't mind, see if you can make a slave out of him; you don't want to miss an opportunity like that.

LadyEowyn
oh... i take advantage of every second of it.

yeah...i have been hit in the head, and the arms, and my legs...but the perpatrator doesnt get away without getting cursed at. its incontrollable. detention isnt that bad.

Ushgarak
Taking advantage, sensible girl. So long as he's fine with it.

I assume they don;t get away without painful knees either?

LadyEowyn
well my anger managment teacher says i have to stop kicking smile

i dont think he minds cause were freinds.

Ushgarak
'Anger management teacher'?

There is a lot of difference between our countries' education systems...

LadyEowyn
just kidding! i havent got caught enough to be sent to one of those people. but today i almost got caught again for yelling words out that i shouldn't have during gym. i got hit with a ball, what was i supposed to do?

Ushgarak
Do it the old fashioned British way!

"Dashed bad form, old boy. Never mind, give it another crack, what?"

LadyEowyn
laughing out loud

always good to be a little agressive. this way no one steps all over you. (especially with my size)

Ushgarak
But you still get hit by balls, huh?

LadyEowyn
its gotta land some where. it just happened to land on me. which is why i flipped out and yelled. but i quickly got my cool again. im learning.

Ushgarak
Hmmm... small, psychopathic knee-kicking person...

Yup, you fit in around here just fine, I think...

LadyEowyn
i hoped i would. its nice to know i have fellow phycopaths with me here. makes it seem...homey
