I've been in DC for the last week or so at a client (Common Cause) who is a non-partisan political not for profit. DC is the CC headquarters, but they have a California division and they are backing Arnold's new plan to redistrict the state so he came and held a press conference at Common Cause.

We werent allowed to get pictured with him, but i got some of him and shook his hand as he was leaving. Strong grip, it kinda hurt. It was funny, though, he isnt that tall; maybe only 5'10". He's a good speaker though, and it was fun to meet him. I couldnt care less about Calif or his new piece of legislature, but i'm a fan of his movies!

??? He's listed on Imbd as being 6'2" or 188cm. I'm 185 so that sounds right. And while I know Hollywood can do nifty tricks with the camera, when I've seen him in pics in the news he does indeed look to be about 6'2".

Just sayin, all his competition stats etc refer to him as being 6 2".

And while people sometimes exagerate, 5 11" is quite a bit under 6 2".

He's also 58 years old. He competed in, what, his 20s and 30s? My father is 56, and he says he's lost an inch or two over the years.

I think you need to make the picture public.

I've always thought that he was a shorty, for some reason.

Eh...so what. Wolferine is a shorty, but you wouldn't want to get into a fight with him.
