Resolution #85: Breakdown This List Of Celebrities That Are 6'4" Like Me...

Date: 3-26-2014

Due Date: 3-26-2015

Resolution: Yesterday when I wrote that I was 6'4" as I explained my love of roomy old cars, I had to look up 6'4" to make sure I was using the ' and the " in the right places. The top result was a link to a website listing celebrities who are also this tall.

I checked out the first couple of pages to find a few surprises. As someone who is above average when it comes to height, I've always been interested in celebrities who are as tall as me. Especially when you hear how tiny the rest of Hollywood actually is.

Within the next year… I will go through this list of 6'4" tall celebs and sort them into one of these four categories: I Knew This, Surprised, Not Surprised, and Who?

I thought this was going to be an easy one but then I noticed that there are 8,400 people on this list. I'll get started soon but I'm going to hold off until the list is complete to share my findings.

Alright… I'm going to stop listing the people I don't know. There are over 8000 names to go through and it's getting to the point where I won't know a single person on a page.

 

Update #2: The Conclusion…

Date: 3-26-2015

Well… this resolution was fun at first when I actually knew the "Celebrities" in question. After a while… it became nothing but a list of athletes who I have never heard of, but I made it through the entire list and now I know even more people who are as tall as I am.
