I think you might be the perfect weight and measurement... for drinking beer

After doing some research (thank you Google/Wikipedia) there are several differing corresponding units:

Greek (or Attic) Talent = 26 kg (57 lb)
Roman Talent = 32.3 kg (71 lb)
Egyptian Talent = 27 kg (60 lb)
Babylonian Talent = 30.3 kg (67 lb)

So the average of those is 28.9 kg (63.4 lb)

Which roughly is 182 kg (399.4 lb) I'm hoping now that you're around 12' tall

Ick, you are right. I mistakenly thought that a talent was 42 pounds. I wonder where I got that idea from???

Anyway consider me chagrined.

You could have got the idea from any members not willing to divulge their mass. Easy mistaka de maka!

Besides, my info was from a reputable source and a talent in any civilisation could be 42 lb, or less - now I'm really worried if you're 12'

Last time I checked a BMI it said I was underweight - 67 inches and 120 lbs. I really don't mind, although I suppose as it is I don't have much meat to turn into muscle.

Looking real good from the numbers. Must be in prime fitness condition I assume. Must say I'm impressed. Good job on taking care your body.

...ah women these days...you don't see that kind a lot here thankfully though I was hoping all men would turn gay overnight but that too wouldn't be too good huh...oh well then I hope all other men would just disappear overnight because all the saying that different man likes different kind of women is a LIE (pull hair).....Skyline the movie looks like a very interesting what ifs

That would be utterly expensive but if you were a female and looked anything like Taylor Swift I'd swim across the ocean if I had to

Men wear good clothing, good watches and go on exercise and diet so that they feel good about themselves . It's never about to be seen but to feel good about yourself. So if men are comfortable wearing t-shirt and short they will because they are comfortable in them though the fabric and design may be chosen to suit their character. So men will wear their favorite clothing even if they go to deserted place because it shows who they are unlike most women who pick on occasions to dress up.

Makes me wonder how have you been living as a man Third Man (joke no offence)
Ill have you know Misses Ju_88 just read the above over my shoulder and she was not impressed (I wont repeat her exact words in case I get brigged )

To be fair to her and women in general though, that is a bit of a one sided theory mate.
You just might want to run that one past a few modern women too see what they think of it.... and dont be too surprised if many of them want to hang you from nearest lampost (metaphorically speaking)
