I once saw a photograph of John Browning posing with officials from Belgium’s FN factory. It almost looked like he was standing with midgets.

Yay for the agricultural revolution and artificial fertilizers, pesticides, and preservatives.

100 years? I thought it was “over 4 hours”.
To: blam
I think they are underestimating the growth. I graduated HS in 1980, being 5’10” tall, and above average height for a male. I returned to university in 1999 and I was smaller than average at the university. Possibly it was location, (Ottawa, ON for HS vs. Lethbridge, AB) but likely not. More nutritious food and too much growth hormone in the meat now.

Oh yeah! I have a banquet table, and 8 chairs from around 1835. They were really short back then! At 6’2”, I’m not comfortable sitting at the table,,,, but it is exceedingly beautiful,,, so I manage!

According to the chart the growth in Great Britai, France and Sweden averaged 4 inches, but in the other countries it was closer to 5 inches. Looks like democracy actually may have been a little better for the people. You can see that Spains rate in increase was low during the Spanish Civil War period, and rates for some countries speeded up after WWII and the immediate aftermath period.

I’m told that the Nissan Cube and similar models from other manufacturers is amazingly spacious for the tall and hefty. It’s hard for him to drive the Tracer, and he can’t get in the back seat at all!
