how is it in decimal metric system?

I'm 5' tall so he is a giant compared to me!

Oh no I'm a little taller than Al. Now my day is ruined :rolleyes:

It's 165.
BTW there's a version that Al's 5'6,5", that makes 169. I'm 173!

Short! :p [/b][/quote]Al is not short, he's.....concentrated!!!!

1 inch = 2.54 cms, so Al is 167.5cms or 1.675m.

Served him right.

5'6"

Yeah, me and Al are about the same height. And I'm the tallest one in my family! Yep, we Sicilians don't grow very tall. We like to stay short so when we sit at the dinner table, we can eat faster because it is closer to us. :p

The Doc

He's the perfect height! I'm also 5'6"! Short guys can be very, very cool!

Girls feel like petting them....

As the saying goes "better things come in small packages!"

Right Zia , Lavinia ?


Don Cardi

First, it was really HARD to understand what "went way over your head" actually means.

Second, I eventually understood that it means that I didn't understand.

Third, what did you mean, DC???

Third, what did you mean, DC??? [/b][/quote]I originally posted to you and Zia knowing that you gals LOVE Al to death. So I was sticking up for him/you gals when the others said that he was too short. So in sticking up for you and Zia's taste for Al I meant that you ladies know that "Better things come in small ( Al being short) packages!"

( DC now goes into his Scarface mode ) : Ok! Now do chu unda stand lady! I can't esplane it betta den dat mang!


You definately are a real sweety!

Zia likes Al to death? I always thought she likes Owen Wilson, and by the way, I think she has an excellent taste for liking him. Now if she likes Al to death, she better say it out loud here cause we are going to have another cat fight.
Secondly, some things are better when they come in big packages. As much as I like to explain more, I think I better not! :p

Good news for DMC and his 'small package' :p

Guys...
When I was opening this thread, it appeared that it was about measuring something in feet ?

I thought it was common knowledge that the guy is a midget. :p I think he's a little taller than the midget in Twin Peaks, Carnivale and Muholland Dr., Michael J Anderson.

By comparison, I'm about 6'2.

Mick

I'm 24 and Im only 5'10 145lbs. My family is pretty short and thin.

I do believe there is a law against Italians/Sicilians growing over 5'8

Owen Wilson?? I don't remember mentioning that... He's really funny and I like his movies because he's such a goofball, but he's not in my top 10 hottest guys list. There is something cute about him, but not to write home about.

Al Pacino is way hotter than him, but don't worry, I'm not as crazy for Al as you girls are, though... no need to rip me apart over him.

By the way, if any reference should be made to my opinion on small packages-- good things DO come in small packages, but only when it's a small box containing jewelry.

Zia, I had to search for it and although I did not find the thread I was thinking about I found a couple about Clive Owen! Now what Clive Owen has to do with Owen Wilson is another stroy!!

But, hey, I like it better when the jewels come in the bigger boxes! :p

Here is how I got this idea Zia!

Oh, yes!!! There's a similar Italian saying that goes "Nella botte piccola c'è il vino buono" (good wine is in the tiny bottle). I do believe that these sayings have been rumoured by short people, anyway! Normally I'm not all that crazy about short men. Al, of course, is an exception!
