So.. what's wrong with those height ranges?

Ralph:

So.. what's wrong with those height ranges?

Which one would you pick if you were 5'11" tall?

I wondered that myself, but didn't want to say anything because it would make me look dumb. But then you said it first, so it's ok.

Ralph:

So.. what's wrong with those height ranges?

if you are <any feet>, 10 or 11 inches, you can't choose your height.

there's no option for 6'10"-6'12" etc

Ralph:

I'm 5'10" and I feel discriminated against. Also, doesn't cater for midgets.

[Damn - too slow!]

Ralph:

Inches were invented by someone with 12 fingers.

Probably the same mutant that invented the clock. And he couldn't count past 59, either.

They're not metric ;)

He only had 5 limbs.

Why does Wolf worry about metric inches? The site wouldn't employ Aditya Dev; but nor would they employ Pervez Mushaf (and no, I have no idea why he's on IMDB either).

Well, he(or she) didn't feel the need to divide the circle into more minute(pun intended) pieces.

All in all, 60 is a pretty nice integer number with lots of convenient divisors.

I'm sick to death of hearing morons breathlessly spew out tired phrases like "OMG EPIC FAIL", "YOO FAIL!!1!", "joo FAYLESELS fefe FAIL!"!"!122!2".

If my computer starts spitting out this nonsense I'm going to have to start bringing a hatchet into work.

Inches were invented by someone with 12 fingers.

Or more likely by a man who wore size 12.

"Here, lay on the ground, and I'll measure your height with my feet."

"Hey, good idea: until now I've been measuring with the top section of my index finger. Looks like your foot has about 12 of those."

With shoes on, you mean. Oh, and I think inches were based on the width of the thumb.

Makes perfect sense when you consider they're offering vacations to the past! Missed opportunity Ruth, missed opportunity.

The secret shopper people just don't want to deal with people are x'10" or x'11". It's a know fact that when people that close to the next foot mark become become paranoid that are being discriminated against based on their height.

"...but first, we need to put you in a vacuum."

But I am 5'8" - why do I have to worry about being 5'11" (unless I am wearing heels, which I don't do in public)...

But seriously - thanks for pointing that out. I need another cup or three of coffee.

Fun factoid on the seemingly weird use of the number 12 on clocks, inches in feet, etc:

Using your thumb, count the knuckles on the same hand. 12! Dates from ancient Egyptians, I believe. You can now count to 24 on two hands. :)

Imperial Leather:

there's no option for 6'10"-6'12" etc

If one were 6'12" then 7'0" would work fine

6'12"?

Yeah, but I have to count to at least 200 to get my search query to work.

He must have been thinking of a bakers' foot.

Isn't brunette a female-only appellation? Sort of like blond vs blonde? Did they have a corresponding hair color for males or just call it brown?

I mean maybe it was a female filling out the form, but it's odd to think someone would actually take the time to create gender-specific drop-down boxes for hair colors.

Makes a lot of sense for French speaking people, as thumb and inch both translate in French to "pouce".

That is awesome. They should start teaching that in elementary schools.

Don't be a dick to female customers because they're more likely to be a secret shopper.

Don't be a dick to male customers because they're more likely to punch you in the mouth for being a dick.

In other words, monitor resolutions can "go up to 11", but heights cannot.

Similar in Spanish. Thumb = "pulgar", inch = "pulgada", which could be translated somewhat over-literally as "thumb-ed".
