Apparently you seldom cross the line, Rockhen. Filter "Tall Tales" for a few years and see what pops up.

Reading this and thought what a load of daft woffle on this non music mudcat thread...then i thought...well I am grinning and....I read it...now I am posting this...DOH!
Maybe the thread title should be, How Tall a Tale can some of you get away with telling on Mudcat?!
Have a good day, folks!

Linear measurement can't be calculated in furlongs per fortnight. Furlongs per fortnight is a measure of speed, not distance, whereas a light-year is a measure of distance, not speed or time (people often get confused about this).

Doing a quick-and-dirty, my height works out to approximately 0.0088383838383838383838383838383838 (etc.) furlongs.

The speed of light is approximately 38,746,738.576 furlongs per fortnight.

Going into measuring units of times gone by, my height is about 3.889 cubits.

5' 7.25" I'm very proud of that last quarter inch. It took me seven years to grow that much, between the ages of 14 and 21.

My mother (5' 10") and brother (6' 3" at least) think I'm a midget. My supervisor (5' even, if you believe her) thinks I'm a giant, so I get smart-ass comments from both ends of the spectrum.

Georgiansilver, an old lady once commented on my height (or lack of it) and I used the "Good things come in small packages" cliche. "Yes" she said "Like poison and dynamite!"

Love Lynne
PS Does dynamite taste like vegemite and marmite?

5'6".... or about and inch and a half shorter than Crystal, who never misses an chance to point this out.

I could do something about this, as I've been told I have the legs for high heels, but that would reduce my life expectancy to rather less time than I'd manage to stay on them....
