Question for the international types

[christopher575]

In the US, we always giggle a bit when we hear "six inches." What's the equivalent in centimeters? I'm not asking for a distance conversion, but rather for what's accepted to be "average" in metric countries. Please advise.

How many cm is a tuna can?

I don't know; 10 cm?

I'm 188 cm.

What? No, my height is 188 cm. Geez.

(You know, if I wanted to be punny, I could point out that I *am* cm. Fortunately I'm rarely punny.)
