I like to tell people that my doctor said I'm 6 feet with shoes on.

Not lying; it's true! I'm like 5'11.

I am 5'10.25", but I just say 5'10". It is hilarious whenever someone else claims to be 5'10" and I am multiple inches taller than they are.

Is it lying if you believe it?

Giant of a man standing at 5'10, felt no need to ever lie about my height.

Why is this on the front page of Hacker News?

How does this have to do with anything related to Hacker News?
