Actually, yeah that's pretty true, also i noticed while walking you can easily look down at your knees yourself and see you kneecaps, but i don't think others can.

I don't think your tibs look abnormally long.  It's probably something you are focusing on too much but no one else notices.  What is your knee height?

My knee height from floor to top of knee, measured with a tissue box, is 24in. I put that (60cm) into this calculator, and got 184cm, which is exactly what I am (maybe a cm under at most).... Quite odd, since my proportions are not typical of a 6ft1'er...

Also, this site:
http://www.roymech.co.uk/Useful_Tables/Human/Human_sizes.html

Showing knee height of 2cm less than mine as the 95th percentile, with the correlating 95th percentile of stature being 186cm. So I am 2cm less than 95th percentile height, but have a knee height 2cm higher - so close, but not quite correlating to the correct percentile of height. I should be 6'2+ with this knee height, under normal circumstances, as I have found to be the case in comparison. People with my knee height are 6'4+, from observation.

The formula is probably not correct, I received height of around 166 according to the formula for my knee height of 50-51, although my knees are only slightly shorter than the knees of people at my height.
No way the knees of a guy how is 5-6cm´s taller than me are on average 9cm´s higher than mine.
