So, Santa said I could keep them, all three of them comedians that appeared in the above photograph-y to being a smile to my face all year around, well until next Panto season anyways.
As I've been a good girl this year...yes he did, oh yes he did, yes its so, and he did...

So I googled "John Holmes height", and at the top of the page, as though I'd been searching for dollars or farenheit conversion, it just said John Holmes Height — 6 ft - According to wikipedia.org and answers.com.
So apparently a John Holmes is a universal unit of measurement! And yes I know I spelt his name wrong.
So how tall is he really, BTW? :-)
Merry holidays

If one measures from the feet up, that would no problems, as you'd count him in bare feet (depending of course how Mr Holmes is standing and against what?) But at which point does one stop counting, at the head, is that: full frontal to the forehead where there's likely to be a full head of hair (which can be misleading in the calculations), to the crown point straight in the middle of his head that is the skull cap or calvaria, or from the back end at that flat section wear the hair grows so slowly due to rubbing the pillow at night: hair friction just before reaching the highest point of his head.
Happy holidays too!!
ps. and would the measurement likely to have been done digitally with the latest technology or by fingers and a tape?
