Is this the result of some local anomaly in the laws of physics, or just a damp bathroom floor?

I persist in telling people I'm 5'9". Depends on whether you measure from the bump on my head or not...

I am five foot eight and a half inches, which was the average male height in the 1950s. My son is six foot one, which show what a good upbringing can achieve.
The old English class system ensured that tall meant rich.

3H, you're always under the assumption that space is isotropic, hence length is preserved everywhere. I thought you're more original than that...
Here's an experiment for you to perform; it will teach you to abandon Euclidean prejudices. Measure your length at one end of the bathroom, and then quick (but real quick, you hear? Like, approaching the speed of light or somethin') run to the other end of it, and measure yourself again. You'll notice a sizeable difference in height. No mystery there, to be sure.
On a quite unrelated note, I'll be in Portland, ME at a conference in May. Any cool spots I shouldn't miss in that metropolis? Any Sehenswuerdigkeiten, things like that? And I'm not talking about the L.L. Bean-clad local strippers here.
