oh man, that is literally me!Well, let's remember that he was born in 1832 (or so says marvel). The average height for an American male in 1830 was apparently 5'5". Since he was from the boonies in Canada (less varied and healthy diet), it's not unlikely his height of 5'3" is about right for "average". He could be considered a bit short I guess, but it's not as extreme as it seems, he's only off by 1 or 2 inches.
well, not the 190 years old part.
I used to be a giant. then I moved to a country where everyone is much taller and now instead of being a giant I am merely above average. sad
