Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Due to a pituitary issue when I was younger I have maybe a bizarre world record of the smallest feet and hands on a fully grown man. My feet and hands are normal looking but very small. They were tiny as a baby and just never grew that big. Thought you all would find it interesting - I know it makes for good chat at parties!

I’m 6’3, size 13 wide.

So are your shoes 4.33 times as long as his, or is that not how those units work?

So my foot is 21 cm or 8.25" from heel to the tip of my toes. I don't think his foot could be 4.33 times as long as that! I wonder what others' foot lengths are?

I will measure and report back!

That's not how that unit works. American shoe sizes are based on the size of a barleycorn! It's not weird and confusing or a pointless, arbitrary tradition that should have been replaced years ago or anything!
