#houdini and doyle
during the Victorian occultism movement I would have been the guy who giggled all the way through seances
Arthur Conan Doyle subtly, but very firmly kicking you under the table.
man was 6’1” and built like a brick shithouse if he looked at me sideways I’d collapse like an aluminum can
Mans was WHAT
here’s a picture of him standing next to Harry Houdini, who was 5’6”
This is actually really interesting in the context of average height.
In the Victorian era, average height for Englishmen was 5'6" with a range of 5'3" - 5'9". Anyone outside of this range was considered unusually tall or short.
So mans WAS built like a brick shithouse.
And Harry Houdini was the guy who was giggling all the way through the seance.
They fight crime!
