    Only Norwegians and Danes use cm to measure height.

    The correct unit of measure is the meter.

    Only if by "correct" you mean "useless." Why would you use a unit of measurement for height that requires decimals out to the hundredths for any accuracy or differentiation? "Oh I'm about 1.92 meters." Feet > cm > meters.

    One requires only the number of decimal points one desires. The beauty of SI is that it works on base 10, which is natural to humans. 100 centimeters in a meter. 1000 meters in a kilometer. 1000 mililitres in a litre. No need to memorize absurd conversion factors like 12 inches in a foot or however many goddamn feet in a mile, which is probably a prime number. SI makes sense.

    EDIT: Of course! 2716 yarmolks in a quatloo! It makes perfect sense!

    I'm 5'1'' and I've decided if I do ever have kids I want them to be massive. 6' and up. ^_^

    I want my sons and daughters to all be ridiculous giants who can then retrieve things for me from the top shelf in the cereal aisle because they always put what I want at the top, bastards.

    In all seriousness, anywhere from 4'11'' - 6'6'' is pretty normal to me.
