Fact 1102: I am still trying to get us to count down, but I can only do so much. However, since I don't really like putting my own little commentary as a "fact" on its own, here is this - the average height of a minion from Despicable Me is said to be 3.5 feet. Felonius Gru, the villain-turned-dad protagonist, is usually seen to be about 4 minions tall, thus making him 14 feet tall. This observation became somewhat of a meme, leading to people using this height to figure out other astonishing feats Gru has achieved, such as perceiving time at a twentieth of its normal speed. This also makes the main villain, Vector Perkins, about 12 feet tall (him and Gru don't really stand still together so it's hard to be exact, but he is shorter than Gru). In other words, in the upwards direction, Vector has a magnitude of 12 feet.
