Height & Arm Span?

[kkat55]

One other thing I've heard about is that you can measure your height (without shoes) on a wall then take your middle finger and put it on that point and touch the floor with the middle finger of your other hand. This would mean that your height and your arm span were the same.

Okay, I must say that I've always had trouble finding sleeves long enough for me. The shirt I have on today (a cute brown thermal-type shirt) showed the girl modeling it with the sleeves gathered by her wrist because they looked long. I orderd the shirt and as I type this message the sleeve length looks like a three-quarters sleeve on me. Hum... (I've learned to accept it because otherwise I'd have no long-sleeved shirts.)

So, according to the measurement above and my life experiences my arms are longer in proportion to my height or longer than they should be.

Well, how about you?

long arms here too.

The info you have is from DaVinci's model and is only for average humans not all humans

Hmmm, guess I'm average.

Did you hear that the length of your foot is equal to the length of your arm from elbow to wrist?

I've never heard of that before. These are things I just picked up over the years and we were talking about them at work so I posted some of them for fun.

Thanks for the info!
