I just mowed around like I usually do – not searching for anything in particular. I slumber alot so I can’t even tell you how I ended up in Bleerslaw (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Bleerslaw/186/96/37). It’s a rather quiet corner in SL, where some nice shops and a rocking looking club is more or less what gives.

But outside one of the shops I saw a little curiosity. A tall red box standing up against the shop wall.

(Me checking out how tall I am in SL)

A measuring device to figure out your avatars height. I haven’t thought about it really before, since I kinda adjusted my height by comparing myself to other avatars. But the factual result surprised me a bit.

By a right-click on the device and then ‘Touch’ it imidiately answered 1.86 meters (6ft 2). Well… And I thought I was accurately dimensioned in Second Life?!? Now I’m almost embarresed to admit, at the RL me only reaches as far as 1.78 meters – including my shoes and Manchester United cap.

Yes, laugh if you must But come by yourself to see how tall you actually are.
