Shorter than I Thought
After reading a thread on the Straight Dope Message Boards, I decided to look up the height chart for someone who's 26. I'm very well-aware of the fact that I'm below the average height for this country. I just didn't know how bad it was.
From this chart, I found that the average American male is almost 5'10", compared to my 5'7". Due to (what I'm assuming is) the bell-curve-like distribution of heights, I'm not even up to the 25th percentile. If I had to guess, I'd say I'm somewhere around the 10th or 15th. If I knew any statistics I could probably say with some confidence just how short I am.
In the meantime, I'm going to try to find some Asians to hang out with -- they almost universally make me feel tall.

Stupid charts
Well, I'm 75th percentile for height (6' or 6'1"), and about 80th for weight (205 lbs). The thing told me my ideal weight is 189, and that I'm overweight.
Where do I enter that I go to the gym and run every day? Stupid charts. If I bothered to go to a doctor in the past couple of years, he'd say I'm in fine shape.

Re: Stupid charts
Yeah, the weight ones I don't have much faith in -- there are too many other things to consider. (On the other hand, I know I could stand to lose at least 30 pounds.) But this one does explain why I'm one of the shortest guys I know, at least.
