It could be your Baby Bio addiction.I've definitely grown. Measured bare feet to the top of my head at the GP's surgery, and at home. I've been x-rayed and examined and the doctor is stumped as to why.

Somebody probably told Alexander Fleming not to get distracted by his mould-infected Petri dish, but fortunately for mankind, he did!

Don't insult the person in the photo - it's not fair! Surely he's got a proper name?
He shouldn't really have had to look too far for the answer this fella. In the intervening years, the manufacture of tape measures have gotten shorter as the measurements have become more accurate. In the eighteenth and nineteenth century they were made out of hemp which stretched and so measurements were distorted. This was only discovered recently on an archeological dig and in fact height hasn't changed much in a hundred years or so. Full article here, it's very interesting

One height doesn't suit all ... There are not many successful tall jockeys or short high jumpers!2630753 said:
I quite like being the height that I am. I am tall enough to have the advantages of that (e.g. reaching high shelves) without being so tall that I bang my head on most doorways, can't get clothes to fit etc.
I do struggle with the slow transition from being 'tall' to being just 'average height' (ok, that is average for younger men in the Netherlands).
