Hmph. Whatever. Jerk.
Seriously though, whaaa I didn't even know that was a thing. That's really cool.
I don't think he meant that he donated them to another person. More like they were casualties of the injuries and surgeries.
Ohhhhhhhh
Why?
Probably the pictures you posted have perspective to them. A lot of pictures have just the persons head, or maybe there aren't familiar objects around to just someones height by. I don't know why I assumed Frank was taller though. Maybe the whole Canadian mountie image.
The most surprising to me was Chad Sexington and Ravenpoe. I would have guessed Poe to be 5'6" at most and Chad to be 5'8".
WHAAT? Do I look short from a headshot or something? I'm a pretty big guy.
This isn't the best picture ever, it's blurry and I look like shit from having just gotten off work, but here's a picture of me posing with my family at my sister's graduation. It's the only one I could find that shows height.
I'm sitting down on a park bench in my photo, my friend took it was super close range too.
Your face looks a lot like a friend of mine, who is about 5'6". Probably where I got it from. Thinking about it, I do tend to compare you all to people I know in real life.[DOUBLEPOST=1374085046][/DOUBLEPOST]I also imagined stienman to be over 6'.

That's ok, you can still imagine that if you like.I also imagined stienman to be over 6'.
No sir, I cannot. You have all destroyed my imagination.
Well, at least you haven't heard my voice, so you can still imagine it to be a measured, soothing deep baritone.
Chad...right on line one, wrong on line two! Most of those who donate to such surgeries do so post-mortem. Stienman got it, I've never lived a gentle or particularly graceful life! Any athletics have been a solid mixture of tenacity and stupidity, with stupidity being the more solid part, so basically I just found ways to break myself but I do currently have some cadaver parts in my left knee. No, I didn't wake up after any of the surgeries with any new voices or desire to kill, just what was there before the operations. Due to the injuries though, I've shrunk a bit! Let fly all of the unexpected responses to that!
You did do that video of assembling your 3d printer, and I think you talked in that. I never really imagined you with a deep voice though, sorry.
6'5" - Looks like I might be the second tallest guy around here.
It's kind of funny because when I was little I kept joking with my father that I would someday be taller then him. Joke was on me because he is 6'6". So close.
Oh well, I am pretty sure my son is going to beat me out though. He was born in the 96th percentile for newborn length, and once he got some meat on him he jumped right off the chart entirely by a good stretch. He is so tall that not even a year old he extends the entire length of my upper body. When my wife holds him he looks like a little kid.

I am the 6'7" monster who is married to Dirona, and also could legitimately click the final option on the poll. As she said, she can wear heels of any height and I still tower over her. I guess high enough theoretically exist, but (to my knowledge) she doesn't own any like that.
Honestly, being this tall is a pain in the ass most of the time. 6'3" or 6'4 was good. Most things still fit. Probably 6'3" is the better of the two. Now... I buy cars first on what fits. A little under 10 years ago, I went into a Toyota dealership and I couldn't fit in ANY of their vehicles. Not just cars, ANYTHING they had. No test drive, period. Varies per manufacturer, but so far Chrysler is the best for having SOMETHING I can drive (usually there's actually a choice with them). Most others, 1 or 0 vehicles I can fit in, let alone drive comfortably. Clothes aren't too bad, but I was really mad when Land's End stopped carrying tall sized jeans.
I'm not that far off the scale (37-inch inseam, my torso is massively tall), but still, 36 just doesn't work. Very sad.The real disappointment came last week at the Calgary Stampede: maybe 50% of the rides I wasn't too tall for (anything where the upper restraint rotates down can't go far enough without impacting my shoulders).
Sucks.Oh well, I do have it better than the very short, but it's not "great" up here either. Has its advantages sure, but by no means universally good. 6'3" was better.
I like saying that I'm 5'2''

Dude! Get a Jeep! Top comes off so your skull remains intact, lift kits available so that you can just slide in comfortably! They even have ladders and side steps so Dirona can get in!
Alternatively, be super creepy and buy a white paneled van.
I do!
