Are we sure what he is saying is True?

@carsman1958, the interesting thing is, we have to ask. It wouldn't take long to find out. I'll start. Here's what a google search of "How tall was Napoleaon III?" nets, "Sources consequently estimate that Napoleon was probably closer to 5'6” or 5'7” (1.68 or 1.7 meters) than to 5'2”. Although the range may seem short by 21st-century standards, it was typical in the 19th century, when most Frenchmen stood between 5'2” and 5'6” (1.58 and 1.68 meters) tall."

Fun, but did we ever really believe any of these? Maybe, back in grade school.Thanks JK.

@jkuvakas John. I was just trying to be funny. You just never know anymore what to believe.

@carsman1958, yup! I totally agree. But, it's always best to fact-check.

Well, a few things I did know not to be true...he noted them. I'd say he's correct on all of them.
