Napoleon: A Disappointment

Everyone says that Napoleon was rather short. So, for a math project, in which we had to contrast heights, I searched for a famous person shorter than me. (Not many. I'm 5'2''.) I was shocked to learn that Napoleon was in fact around 5'5". Although he wasn't the tallest, it's odd that so many people think he was extremely short. He himself, in my opinion, said it quite well: "History is lies that everyone has agreed upon."
