Is it true that your foot equals the distance between your wrist and elbow?

Is it true that the length of your foot equals the distance between your wrist and elbow?

 

I have never heard that..

However I have heard that you are as tall as you are wide when you have your arms fully extended horizontaly (from fingertip to fingertip)

EDIT!!! I just tried the fingertip to fingertip and it's right.. or at least for me..

 

I've never heard any of these

 

Not for me..

Yeah... I did hear about that and tried it once. I guess it's true.

I just measured using my shoe and the distance from my wrist to my elbow is a little bit bigger.

 

I've heard of this quite often and I think it's general measure and doesn't have to be exact.

Yes, I've heard of this too, and it's pretty much right in most cases... I recon.

Others similar to these are;

• The circle made with your thumb and middle finger is about the size of your wrist.
• The circle made with your hands using thumbs and forefingers is about the size of your neck.

 

Ditto,

It's true as far as I know. =)

 

i dont think its true. ..I think it depends on the hieght-weight or body ratio as a whole .
for example , a person with a leg defect say , may not have these distances as equal
hmmm . .. it might be true for a normal guy .

 

OMG I was like no way is that true and I put my foot between my elbow and wrist and they were nearly the same lol

 

yes, I have know that for years. Its very good to know how big ppl feet are.LOL

 

I have heard of this and My foot is bigger

 

Give it a few years. Your feet never stop growing.

 

I think it's a trick to see who is going to try and put their foot on their arm...lol

EDIT: I mean I know it can be done, just think it's funny to imagine all of the DPers who are trying it!

 

wrist to elbow is longer, but it was damn close. I wear a size 13 US

 

I do not think so.. when i look at my arm and foot, it appears the statement should be false..

thanks,

I don't think it is true. doesn't make sense to me.

 

I dont think so,never heard or read about it.

 

Just checked. Not true.

 

Yeah I heard that many times...

 

Whoa, my feet are big (you know what they say to men with big feet eh?... ) but there's no way that they fit between my wrist and elbow, I'll check it out at school today (don't have a ruler lol)
