How tall are you ?

[jeisan]

nah, its still not taught in school. we learn what it is and why its better but thats about it. so most of the general public has no idea how high 171cm is, or their own weight in kg. though our cars have both mph and km/h on the speedometer.
i've been trying to learn metric units for awhile now. i can for the most part freely convert speed, distance, weight, height and temperature between the two. but most of it is still relative to me, as im not quite sure what the metric measurement is until its converted into american units.

how troublesome... well... I never learned bout inches etc... so I actually... don't really know how much they are? '-'

hmm.. song bout short people... *sighs* at least I'm not the only one in this world... ^^

We tried switching over to the metric system in the late 1970s but it just didn't work out.

 

[Flashjeff]

Well, I'm 6-2, and I'm proud to be non-metric!

 

[Golgo_13]

Well, I'm 6-2, and I'm proud to be non-metric!

You're still 188 cm.

 

[Gaki]

I'm 164 cm, I am chibi.

 

[RockLee]

I find it ODD...well that's the least to say....America's education standards aren't THAT great I suppose ☝

 

[kirei_na_me]

Heh...chibi has taken on a whole new meaning now...

 

[Flashjeff]

Well, Rock, I've done pretty good so far, educationwise, so I can't complain!

 

[Mayura]

hmm... chibi has a new meaning? '-' ???

 

[mdchachi]

maciamo, i hope you dont mind, i added in the american equivilents to the poll.

They're not quite right. For example, 175 is closer to 5'8" than 5'9".

 

[jeisan]

i rounded them, since i used 1 inch = 2.54cm to convert, 175cm = 68.9 inches, close enough to 5'9"

 

[EscaFlowne]

Fear the GIANTS!

[Shinmeiryu]

Be careful of the hobbit

 

[EscaFlowne]

[Looks at the hairy footed hobbit]

Hobbits...
☝

 

[dreamer]

lol actually being asian I'm not hairy at all

 

[EscaFlowne]

Lord.....
Hairless Hobbits...

 

[Golgo_13]

hmm... chibi has a new meaning? '-' ???

It has always meant "runt", "little one" etc.

 

[Mayura]

oh... I see...

esca - hairless hobbits? a new species has been found... ^^"

actually, normally a chid would be taller then their parents, ne?

 

[kirei_na_me]

hmm... chibi has a new meaning? '-' ???

It has always meant "runt", "little one" etc.

Yes, I have always known that 'chibi' meant that, and that it's not nice to refer to someone else as that. I just think Gaki is a good looking guy, therefore, 'chibi' must not mean 'runt', 'little one', but something else...

Um...you know what I mean? :? It was meant to be a kind of joke.

 

[Golgo_13]

He might be a short good-looking guy . . . like Tom Cruise.

 

[Mayura]

He might be a short good-looking guy . . . like Tom Cruise.
