    Probably looks taller because lightweights tend to be smaller than that, and looks taller next to smaller guys

    compare him to Joseph Laryea, who is down as 5'11, Laryea looked quite a bit taller

    Alright, it wasn't transcendent wit or anything, but no recognition? I did put some research into that...

    (if you call 90 seconds on Google looking up "dimensions of a lamb's stomach" only to rage quit in impotent frustration research...I finally just went off memory of the haggis I'd eaten being about one hand long)

    I'd assume it's actually 5'10 as there is no real reason to lie about it.

    Easiest way to find out is stack a dozen haggises next to him.
