Who is the tallest DUer?
I love posts like this... OK, so let's hear it. And it ain't me, I'm six feet even. If there's nobody taller than me on here, well, the DU basketball team is gonna suck this year! :)

8. 6' 5" in my bare feet...
I once dated a girl who was 4' 10" -- when we were out together, she said that she always felt like I should buy her a balloon.

My wife is 5' 8", so we're a prety good match...:hug:

26. 6'4" Taller Than Average, But Not The Tallest
There is an organization for tall people, Tall Clubs International, which has chapters in some 65 cities in the U.S. and Canada.

www.tall.org

Minimum height requirements are 6'2" for men, and 5'10" for women, with a few local clubs (Los Angeles in particular) having stricter requirements.
