| ratio of humerus to height |

I'm doing a simple project for a statistics class, regarding predicting the height of a person based on the length of their humerus. Does anyone here want to lend their measurements? I've been measuring males who are at least 18 years old. Anyone else need not apply. I thought it would be interesting to have more data than just people from my town. The humerus is the bone between the elbow and shoulder. I've been measuring the underside from the elbow snug to the armpit. (Ie, making an L shape with the elbow, with the hand pointing up.) In inches, I'm 11 to 70.75. So, if any of you are extremely bored, you now have something to do. |

Comparing the results, I almost feel like I did something wrong.... I'm 78" tall. "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

Derezo, it may very well be that you're just a tall mother effer. OK, now do me a favour and say "Do you find something comical about the way I look when I am driving my vehicle? Everyone needs an automobile, even the very tall. This happened to be the largest auto I could afford." |

Stupid midgets.. I tell ya, there are so many doorways that shouldn't even be legal.. Goodbytes. You do me a favor, and stand in the middle of the road in your underwear. Then march. Almost every time I meet someone new, they crouch, look up, and say "How's the weather up there?" ...it gets old, people. "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

Thanks for the numbers so far everyone! I could still use a few more. I'll be putting together a few simple graphs tonight. The average appears to be in the 0.16 range, with a few people with extra long arms. |

It's all that driving around like a madman and carrying firearms. Military service is bad for you, I say! -- |

The heaviest firearm i carried was the light MG, 8.5kg, and the heaviest piece of weaponry was the AT mine, 10kg. Not a big deal. Well, your body might have been crushed under that weight though... You don't deserve my sig. |

You just tied the tallest guy at my school who we all call "the tall man" and who is very insecure about how tall he is and is easily pushed over due to his high center of gravity, and who often has to stoop down or pick someone up just to talk to them, often alluded to as Wilt or Goliath or CN Tower with legs, banging his head on doorways, pipes, and clouds.
