With a head that sized, it's no surprise John didn't miss.

I read a thing that said the average American male height around 100 years ago was 5ft 7in which seems about right for this picture

Honestly you're 6'4" Abe, isn't the hat a tad extra?

Hopefully he gave the syndrome back to Marfan. You shouldn't take what isn't yours.
