Hello, Loreenakateers, I suggest that we play a little game. I want you to send your guess via reply on this post as to how tall is Ms. McKennitt. Whoever guess the closest height will win the competition. (I ask that Quinlan Road Staff who have joined this forum would please not be allowed to participate). Good luck!

Well if you start counting now, you won't make it before life has ended.
I'm trying an experiment...
I am timing the count from 800.160.910 to 800.160.920 ...
It takes approx. 1 min. 20 sec. just to say these 10 numbers in a row!
Which means it will take at least 3 generations to count to 800.241.000

So LoreenaMckennittFan, It you start counting now I will start building a cathedral. Then our grandgrand children might finish at the same time!

My apologizes if this seems booring to you.
I think I'm in lack of challenges mathematically right at this point of my life! Maybe I should consider studying mathematics...

Just the other day I found out; I've forgotten how to solve a quadratic equation!! GHM!
Actually it was when caculating ms. McKs height. The golden section equation is a quadratic equation!
Luckily I remembered the result.

Well I better stop now ...


Thank for your patience, those who still reads...

Angie, she'd have to shave her hair off first, then tell us.

We need to record all these statistics at Wiki.
It's vital to our learning.

Maybe 'boot size', so we would know how tall she really is, heh.

I would imagine 800,241,000 but I am just guessing. Would anyone at Quinlan Road want to check?

Perhaps her dress size? She seems to be quite fit, I read somewhere (I think here) that she use to be athletic. Does she still play some sport? Maybe football or dare I imagine Hockey? I could actually imagine Loreena all decked out in a uniform skating down the ice.

The original idea behind the 'stretch rack' was to poke a bit of fun at Loreena and myself as to how we could makes ourselves look taller, by using an old tool from the past, which was rather torturous, such as what is shown in this link:

Old Stretch rack

But then, I came upon some modern ones, lol....which may not be so barbaric after all:

Modern Stretch racks

Aye, we've come a long way.... (pun intended)


Shan

Thanks to your links, now I have clearer ideas about stretch racks. And to be honest I have got such a device at home, one of those modern ones of course, but I never use it, since I'm really too too lazy , even though I'd have time to make exercises....
So funny the old ones!
We can always learn something new..

Hej Malin

Så klart jag hört.

Min Mor är föd i Sverige!

Jag hoppas mitt svenska är lagom! hahaha

Det finns ett lignande ord på danska: Tilpads. Men det är inte helt det samma...

Det är lite roligt med sånna ord som bara finns på ens eget språk.


Kram

Stretch racks still excist??! on museums only, I hope.

I am thinking of when I met Loreena. She was wearing heels, but really not high ones. She was a little shorter than me, (around 174). It is hard to judge by the photo taken of me and her, because that was before I started to straighten up my back (back problems at 16. Life, here I come...)

However, when I stood in front of her it was hard to notice anything else but her eyes and beautiful smile. So...

Anyway, I think that it’s most likely her height is given by an average one between 5’2” and 5’7”.

Shan, can you make an example of what you mean with stretch rack? I understand whoever uses it looks taller, but I can’t translate it well; is it a heavy device? What is it? Do you have to wear it? I’m sure I’m seeming a fool, an E.T. just landed on earth.. my sincere apologies!! I have never seen it before. I might need it, I’m just 1,64 meter (I think about 5’38”, for Gina )

Then at the end let’s try to disclose this mystery!

Hi Shan

Funny, because I think I would like the opposite... A shrink-rack.
Somehow I don't like to be taller than other people.
Luckily I'm just 5'1,5'' = 156 cm so it isn't that many people that are smaller than me

I have no idea where Loreena keeps her 'stretch rack', but I keep mine under the bed. Apart from getting taller, it really helps me get the kinks out of my back.

If I don't use it regularly, then I shrink a little, so I'm presuming that's what happens to Loreena also, so...hmmm....I figure that we can maybe stretch from 5'2" to 5'8" easy....you know, like vertical accordions. Heh.
