Napoleon was about 1.68m tall*. What was the average French male's height in his time?


(*This is quite interesting. Contemporary sources give his height as 5 foot 2 inches. But this was given using the French foot and inch. The French inch was about 27.07mm, bigger than the current standard inch which is 25.4mm.)

Could a factor in the perception of Napoleon being short be due to him surrounding himself by taller guards and not dressing in ways that would enhance the perception height?

would that depend on what type of glasses you are standing, or is those glasses beer goggles?

What is the difference between Beer Goggles and Guinness Goggles?

Could Guinness Goggles do this?

Have you ever known anyone who could climb (literally) into a bottle in order to taste the beer?
