Patrick Cotter O'Brien (1760-1806), of County Cork, Ireland, holds the distinction of being the first person confirmed, in his own lifetime, to be at least eight feet tall, at 8 foot 1 inch (c. 2.46 meters).
Depending on which source one reads, he may have been the first confirmed eight-foot tall person period, though I have read sources claiming that a skeleton was later found of another man, who supposedly lived earlier than O'Brien, and measured at eight feet in length.
Prior to him, there were the reports on Goliath's height, but the Dead Sea Scrolls demonstrated that a simple typographical error had inflated Goliath's height from something around 6 foot 9 (c. 2.06 meters), which means that Goliath was actually about the size of a basketball power forward, up to a fantastical 9 foot 9 (c. 2.97 meters)
No because i will be eternally jealous of tall people. Like do they know how cool they look in platforms. You stupid fucking stick insect i am so bloody jealous. I'M 5'3. The Transmasc struggle™
Oh!! Pardon my height you sentient lamp post!! I am truly sorry for not being on the eye level of the Empire State Building!!
But yes I am here, hello good friend.
PS. Being short is fine, if anything falls toward us you die first.
does anyone just FORGET that Dex is tall, because I do. He gives of such short vibes(average hight) and the. I see a fanfic of fanart and he’s taller then everyone else and then I remember.
It’s even worse becuase I ship Fitz and Dex and I keep imaging Fitz being taller the Dex before I need to give my self a reality check and am like “oh wait dex is the tall one.”
