The scaling is all wrong. That's annoying. But the concept is interesting. It annoys me that someone probably drew this up correctly and then some genius convinced enough people that they need wow factor rather than truth. Because if 24 inches come up to this man's waist he is a rather short man.

That was my first thought, too. The person in this infographic would be pretty good at hide and seek, being so small. On another note, this is pretty dated. I'd love to be able to buy that much steel for $1000. It's at least twice that price now.
