It should be known by now that Napoleon was of over average height in his time and that this saying "small emperor" was based on an error in measurements (French and Englisch measures weren't the same) and that it was also partly British propaganda.
I know we always give credit for the geodesic dome to Fuller, but wasn't it actually invented by a guy named Bauersfeld about 30 years before Fuller patented the design?
Interesting how all of these are men. But I wouldn't consider 5'7 short, since that's about the average height for an adult male in China (where I live). Also the world average height for a male born in 1996 in 5'7½ (half an inch taller than the tallest in this quiz).
