Today I was thinking about stuff and rememberd that your arms are supposed to be as tall as you are, so i made a mark on the wall where my head is (actually had a co-worker do it) and then put my one hand on the ground and reached up with my other hand. To my suprise my arms are longer than my body. Whats up with that??

you're both freaks! that's all ;)

It could be because since during the day a person becomes slightly shorter [spinal disks compressed or something from gravity] so that by comparison your arms are longer, but if you measure bright and early in the morning after your sleep [during which the spine stretches out again] it'll be less of a difference.

Beltruckus, my brother is the same way. His wingspan is longer than his height.

Dammit Beltruckus, you *know* I'm gonna have to try this now!

You measured wrong. You said your ARMS are supposed to be the size of your body. The way to measured your arms, you included the area across your chest. :)

Edit: Rereading, were you talking about armspan? Or just arms, armspan would include your chest.

I'm almost exactly dead-on. You should change this to a poll!
