GWB is 6'2"? They sure don't portray him as that tall.

Clinton they always tried to make seem taller.

People taller than me :
Andre the Giant
Kareem Abdul Jabar
Martin Van Buren Bates
Patrick Ewing
Peter Mayhew II (just as a note this guy is really weird)
Roger Morrissey
Sandy Allen
Shaq
Tom McMillan
Wilt Chamberlain
Leonid Stadnyk (well obviously)
People same height as me :
Heidi Gillingham
Michael Crichton (never knew he was 6'10")
Richard Kiel
Ted Cassidy (people calling me Lurch have basis, never knew)

The fact that there are only 13 famous people as tall or taller makes me wonder how I compare to society at large.

The trio of heroes band together, and after defeating the ghost's number one henchman, Caliban from the Tempest(but without any real character to him), the evil Ghost Overlord loses to the 3 heroes in an epic battle, but barely gets away to open up room for a sequel, Hamlet 2: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern strike back.

Michael Crichton (never knew he was 6'10")
Yep he is quite tall and has a thin build. I met him at the LA Festival of Books once, and in his book "Travels" (good book btw, quite different from his other stuff) he has a story about visiting somewhere in Africa and feeling odd for being so tall.

It lists 2 heights for Mel Gibson, 5' 10" and 5' 9" I'm nearly positive he's 5'9" -- perhaps even closer to 5' 8". I'm guessing they got this information from various sources and he has different stats reported somewhere.

There's a senator who's shorter than me! And.. Billy Barty.
Herve Vilechaize ("The plane! The plane!) is on there Jhani, I'm sure he's shorter than you too

I'm glad to say that I can call Hitler, among other things, a shorty.

Everytime I've met this guy (at conventions) he's always been sleeping in his booth during the show. I never get to sleep in my booth :(

There is a women's basketball player, Anne Donovan, who is an inch taller then me (6'8). I have never met a female taller then me. This boggles the mind.

i'm pretty sure arnie isn't 6'2" - last time I walked past him in town I'm pretty sure he's a little shorter than I am (I'm 6'1")

Also - margaux hemmingway wasn't quite 6'0" either.... 5'10 or 5'11. her sister is my godmother.

I think Wayne Gretzky was kinda over-rated. Nothing like Bobby Hull. He was a star on a team of losers, but put him with some regular all-stars, he doesn't stand out much. Of course, he was no Gordon Bombay.

And Darth, I feel you there. Really HOT chicks too!

Put him in a group of the greatest players of all time and he's still scored almost 100 goals more than the next closest of them. :P

I doubt the accuracy of a lot of these. They have Andre the Giant listed at 7'4" but he was really only around 6'10".
