is that a typo where it says "the average norweigen man would be around 1.77 centimetres of height"

seems kinda short...

In the fifties, that was the case, but they're 182 centimeters now. The global average is slightly under 170 as far as I know.

I think the comment was in reference to "1.77 cm". It should be 1.77 metres. Just as an aside, what is a "good" height to be in Norway? In the USA being 6 foot tall (about 1.82m) is generally considered a good height for men.

 Ah, I see...   A good height? Hmm, well the average man is about 6' here. Anywhere between 190 and 185 is considered tall and hence, good, I suppose. I'm a bit too tall for practical reasons (driving, standing on the bus, trying on clothes in a small booth) and I'm 193 centimeters.

The chinese are actually getting a bit taller too, I have a friend from Bejing who said that the peoples of east China are his height on average (174 centimeters), which is a good 2" above global average.
