Measurements

[Veronica]

Whenever someone posts their measurement for a body part I have to go measure mine.

My left pinky is 2 and 7/8 of an inch.

[Blueberry]

Mine's 2 1/4 (and that's about the only thing that isn't too depressing to measure right now:mad: :mad: )

[Veronica]

The circumference of my kneecap is 15 inches. :p

The distance from the crook of my thumb (where the thumb joins the hand) to my middle finger is 13 cm. If a woman's pelvis is smaller than 12 cm from the symphysis pubis to the sacral promentory, she may have trouble getting the baby out. We actually measure our hands in midwifery school. So, as long I can't touch somebody's sacral promentory, she's good to go! :rolleyes:

[maillotpois]

You people are just WEIRD!! :D :D :D :D

I have huge hands. My left hand, from the closest wrinkle to my hand on my wrist to the top of my middle finger is 7 1/2 inches. They match my size 11 feet.

And on feet - I have just spent 40 minutes trying to find SOMEONE who makes women's cycling shoes in a size 11. All women's cycling shoes seem to stop at 10 1/2 at the max (size 42 - 43). The men's equivalents are loose in the heel. AARRGH. My 4 year old Northwaves are about to give up on me. (I am going to try Sidi narrow mens to see.)

[Veronica]

I don't think I can measure that. :eek:

My belly button is 15/16 of an inch though.

[SadieKate]

My right little piggie is 1 1/2"

My nose from the bridge to the tip is 1 3/4"

Thanks for making me laugh.:)

[Veronica]

It's cool that you have big hands and feet Sarah, because you're tall. You'd look funny with itty bitty hands and probably fall over if you had tiny feet. Or we'd have to cut off some inches to make it work. And I think that would hurt.

The base of my nose is an an inch and 3/4.

V.

[SadieKate]

My hand stretched out tip of the little finger to the tip of the thumb = 8". Comes in very useful when furniture shopping.

"They" always say that proportionally your wingspan (tip of the left fingers to tip of the right fingers) is the same as your height. Ht = 63.5". Wingspan = 66. Does that prove I'm descended from monkeys? :p

[SadieKate]

You people are just WEIRD!! :D :D :D :D I guess I should be grateful Bill is not home tonight.:p

[snapdragen]

I guess I should be grateful Bill is not home tonight.:p

THANK YOU!:eek: :D

My thumbnail is 9/16th of an inch.

[Veronica]

Here's one - right earring hole to the tip of nose - 5 and5/8 inches.

[SadieKate]

And they wonder why we like women-only rides.

[Adventure Girl]

From the ground to the top of my head is 177.165 centimeters (when I am standing on a 9-7/8" box):eek:

[maillotpois]

You people are fantastic. Again, in a weird way!

I go off and watch Gilmore Girls and come back to all these measurements (earring to nose??) that I am even having trouble visualizing!!

I hope we gave SK and her yardstick some fun activity to keep her off the ice cream...

[SadieKate]

I found the box of Samoas.

[uforgot]

You can estimate fabric yardage. If you hold your arm straight out while holding the fabric between your thumb and pointer finger, and then measure to your nose (other hand holding with thumb and pointer) that's about a yard. My mom taught me that, and it's a habit. If I want to see about what a yard would be, fabric, string, anything, I do that automatically and get the weirdest looks.

[Lise]

I found the box of Samoas.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! :eek:

I'm up all night working, with a vending machine on every floor

[yellow]

OK! Back on topic!

My right heel is 1 7/8" wide. My left heel is 2" exactly.

Goofy right leg all around.

[Brandi]

omg! You guy's are too funny.
The space between my eye's is exactly and eye's width!

[DrBee]

I really need to find a ruler... maybe we have calipers somewhere around here... I'll be back

[Brandi]

Heheheheheh!

[DrBee]

I work in a state-of-the-art facility and I had to print a ruler from the web. Truely sad... OK -

tip of my nose to my chin - 9.7 cm

[CorsairMac]

While I am laughing so hard I'm crying - I have decided to refrain from participating in this endeavor! I have heard that some things shouldn't be divulged to retain that sense of mystery! ;)

Besides - I'm still trying to figure just how long 6" really Is! (yup, I better go to church for another service on that one)

[Dianyla]

Heh, this is too funny!

My left nipple is 9/16" wide. The right one is 1/2". There's nothing quite like body piercings to make you realize how asymmetrical you are! :rolleyes:

[Veronica]

The longest hair on my head is 10 3/8".

V.

[maillotpois]

The longest hair on my head is 10 3/8".

V.

How do you KNOW it is the longest??? Does it hang down farther than the rest????

I get this feeling you are REALLY ready for a vacation, V! :D

[SadieKate]

I'm picturing V sitting her front of her class making all these measurements.

Now, Dianyla . . . .I'm just trying not to picture that at all.:rolleyes: :p

[Dianyla]

The longest hair on my head is 10 3/8".
The longest hair on my head is 55". :cool:

[SadieKate]

Mine's getting shaggy at 3 inches.

[SalsaMTB]

I have little pinkies....my left pinky is only 1.75 inches (starting at zero, not the bottom of the ruler). I have yet to find gloves that fit my hands properly, the pinky is alway twice as long as it needs to be

My left middle finger is 3 inches.

[Lise]

Wow. That is tiny. My left pinky is 2.5" long, and my middle finger 3.25". Good luck with the gloves. Must be annoying! L.

[Adventure Girl]

I have little pinkies....my left pinky is only 1.75 inches
You're my pinky twin. My pinkies are also only 1.75 inches. I've always thought that this has held me back in life!;)

[pkq]

......yummy with ice cream!!!!


I found the box of Samoas.

[ladyjai]

I didn't think my hands were particularly small... my pinkie is 1.875in and my middle finger is 2.75in.

my bottom lip is 2.5in across when my mouth is closed.

[snapdragen]

My big toe on my left foot is 1 and 3/4 inches. Without nail polish.

[Brandi]

I thought there was no way this could still be going on but here it is still happening. And the #1 thread in the open topic still! Very funny.

[Brandi]

All mystry went out the door when we started a thread on who has herpes! There is pretty much no where else to go after this.

[sydney_b]

I about snorted water all over my keyboard and you all are to blame. Where the heck is a towel?

/s

[slinkedog]

My dad has two very small pinkies and so does my sister. I, on the other hand (pun intended), have one regular pinky and one short pinky. My left pinky from base to tip is 2.5" The right one is only a little over 2" From the heel of my hand to the tip of the pinky on the left is 5.5". Right is 4.75".

There's my weird measurement posting for your reading pleasure. :)

[Brandi]

Ok ok! My pinky is exactly 2 inches.

[DrBee]

I must have long pinkies - from the knuckle - L: 3 in, R: 3 1/8 in

[Brandi]

wow! are you long legged too?

[DrBee]

30" inseam - about average for 5'6" I guess. I do have pretty long fingers.

[profàvélo]

Some of us are trying to write dissertations here. Would you PLEASE quit distracting me???? :p I actually stopped and got out my ruler...

... and my left pinky is 2 1/4 " w/nail, 2 1/8 " without. That's as far as I'm going...

[maillotpois]

My left pinky is 2 1/2 inches.

The large part of my hand is essentially a square measuring 3 1/2 by 4 inches.

36 B minus....

[mtbdarby]

DARN IT!! I thought I'd make it through this thread without taking out a bloody ruler:cool: Both of my pinkies are 3" from knuckle to tip. Man, you guys are whacked, lolololol.

And I'm still chuckling and wondering why I'm getting paid for this...

[CR400]

Ok I'll play this is kind of fun.

My pinkie is little only 2 1/2 inches

From thumb crook to top of middle finger is 6 inches.

Width of palm at the widest point 3 1/8 in
Length of palm 4 1/8 in
Length of longest finger from knuckle 3 1/8
Total hand length 7 1/4.
Ankle 9in
Wrist 6 7/8. Any more and i actually have to find a tape measure which I left at home.

So I guess I have small hands but have no problem reaching brakes and shifters on my guys bike.

[bikerz]

This thread cracks me up!

You know, there ought to be a way to harness all this measuring activity for the good of humanity, but I can't think of a thing...

[snapdragen]

This thread must not die.

My fore arm is 8 1/2 inches - wrist bone to elbow bend.

[salsabike]

The distance from the bottom of my nose to the highest part of my upper lip is 3/4".

I love this thread.

[DrBee]

I can't resist - my right wrist is exactly 2 inches

[Jones]

I'm in, my right ear is 3 3/4" from top to lobe and my left ear 3 5/8".

[AuntieK]

Okay, okay...I can't resist...
There's a spot on my leg above my ankle that I never seem to get shaved...
leg hair there is just under 1/2 cm. :p

[solveig]

How about this?

My right ear sticks out 20mm from my head, and my left ear sticks out 19mm.

My club foot measures 21.4 cm long, by 10.3 cm wide at the ball, with a 1.6 cm high arch. That's opposed to my normal foot, which measures 24.1 cm long, 9.5 cm wide, with a 1.2 cm arch.

I'm glad I got that kind of asymmetry in my feet instead of my ears!

:)

[DirtDiva]

Left pinkie: 57mm.
Right pinkie: 59mm.
Both middle fingers: 78mm.
Crook of elbow to tip of middle finger: ~39.5cm (I've only got a 15cm ruler).
Length of longest current chainring tattoo: 7.3cm (gotta clean my drivetrain, or at least take more care when pulled over at the ATM).

Yes, you can add me to the list of the easily entertained... :D

[snapdragen]

If I hold my hand in the Vulcan handsign (Live Long...blah, blah) it is 7 centimeters from middle fingertip to ring fingertip.

[DirtDiva]

Hey! Me too!

Should I bother telling myself that I could have resisted measuring that if the ruler hadn't been right there next to me? :p

[Lise]

Oooooo! Good one! Mine is 8.5 cm. I guess I'd be long limbed for a Vulcan. :rolleyes:

[maillotpois]

If I hold my hand in the Vulcan handsign (Live Long...blah, blah) it is 7 centimeters from middle fingertip to ring fingertip.


AH!! So jealous that you can do that!!!

[DrBee]

I was measured in all sorts of ways at the LBS yesterday! I should've written them down!

right arm (shoulder to wrist) - 52 cm
left arm (same deal) - 52 1/4 cm

I think?

[Popoki_Nui]

...boob-to-boob. :o

[Popoki_Nui]

...boob-to-boob. :o
heh...that should be 25cm.....:D:D

[Lise]

AH!! So jealous that you can do that!!!
Would you be differently-abled on the planet Vulcan? Need to wear a brace to greet people, perhaps? :p

[DrBee]

If I hold my hand in the Vulcan handsign (Live Long...blah, blah) it is 7 centimeters from middle fingertip to ring fingertip.

Me too! - only the left hand. Can't do it on the right hand.
