Just like Napoleon.
He must be French too.

There's so many opposites in that sentence it kind of makes sense.

Napoleon was 6'1"?
Not the "small" they were referring to.

Dear Jaye:
We made short work out of finding your answer with a search on "napoleon height." Here's how the tall tale of Napoleon's short stature got started...
After the famous general and emperor died in 1821, his body was autopsied in France, and his height was noted as 5 foot 2 inches. This measurement was in French feet (pieds de roi) and was never correctly converted to standard English measure. In English feet, Napoleon stood 5 foot 6.5 inches tall. So the poor guy was shorted a full 4.5 inches in height.
In his day, 5'6.5" was a perfectly respectable, nothing-to-be-ashamed-of height for a man. In fact, Napoleon was actually slightly taller than the average Frenchman of 1800.
So the diminutive size the emperor is so noted for was, in fact, a mere miscalculation. And as one observer points out, "It is also probable that the men of his Imperial Guard, with whom he 'hung out,' were very tall, creating the illusion that Napoleon was short."
The man himself said it best -- "History is a set of lies that people have agreed upon."

You're just trying to make me tell you how big it is, aren't you?
I never said anything. They were talking about Napoleon, and I just cleared it up, don't get mad at me.
