Napoleon was 4'something. And actually... well, you'd probably only like him more for this. *shrug* He was making fun of the fact that Washington actually followed through on a promise to step down and not be President for Life. Somebody asked why Napoleon didn't follow through and step down, and he said, "What, you think I'm a Washington?" like Washington was an idiot for letting go of power.

ArynChris ... stare Then why do they always talk about Napoleon being short? I'm confused, I could have sworn he was 4'something. It's a common misconception actually. It has to do with the French feet being slightly larger than the English feet. In French feet he was 5'2" but in English feet he was 5'6". I read it on a fancy website I did. 3nodding They said something about exhuming the body and stuffs. xd

Yeah, cause the foot was the size of the King at that period, so therefore the french guy had bigger feet than the english king...or something xd
