And now it's time for another episode of What I Learned Today.

Napolean wasn't short. He was actually about 5'6" tall.

Weird.

Supposedly he was really protective of his image, ie didn't sit for portraits and such. So there's been a lot of mystery about his physical appearance.

Kate Beaton's cookie-eating Napoleon will always be the real thing in my heart, though.

5'6" is short.

Pthbthbthpth!

I share Kate's sentiment.

Sort by today's standards, mayhap? I'm sure we'll have been considered short in two-hundred years time.

I don't think you really grasp why people were short in the past versus today. And I agree with Fisher: 5'6" makes him a lil' man.

Srsly?

Wow.
