Maybe they can tack on an inch or two if they replace your hip joints.

Seriously, everyone loses height in the spinal cartilage. It gets worse with osteoporosis or Parkinson's disease. I've seen people with both, which is a really scary fate.

The U.S. has been officially metric 1866. It just never caught on.

I had been thinking that Congress adopted the metric system in the 1790s. Several people pushed for it, but Congress moves at its own rate.

At least we pretty much got away from drams, rods, chains, fathoms, and the like, except for some specialties.

Actually everyone else in the world. We're the only ones left using pounds.

The British would call it 19 stone.

On Mars you would weigh about 100 pounds. (You could probably launch yourself into orbit around the newly discovered moon of Pluto.)

Welcome to the forum.

I've never heard of a LEO worrying about the height on a CHL or driver license unless some 12 year old was trying to drive on a "borrowed" license.

Also with the photos being used for 10 years now, men have gone bald and grown beards since their last photo.

As for weight, don't get me started ...
