Tall Or Not: Ever wonder if you're taller than John Tesh?

Here's an interesting fact. Did you know that actress Yasmine Bleeth and US president James Madison were the same height? At 5 foot, 4 inches, Madison was the shortest president in US history. How do we know this? Because we read it on a free ringtones site, and if it's on the internet, it's probably true, right?

RingoPhone's Tall or Not toy is obviously just an attempt to get you to use the service's ringtone search engine. But that doesn't make it any less fun to play with. Just enter your height using US or metric measurements and you can flip through a long list of celebrities, public officials, and world record holders to see how you stack up.

The shortest person in the index is Gul Mohammed, the shortest adult ever recorded at less than 2 feet tall. The tallest is Robert Pershing Wadlow, who came in at nearly 9 feet. In between are a wide array of folks, living and dead, including Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Lil' Kim and Rod Serling.
