The rock does not possess arms because it developed a masturbatory compulsion as a pebble and caused all sorts of embarrassing ruckuses at social gatherings. A cruel but necessary preventative measure.
Sheesh.

Preposterous, even a simpleton knows an upright position for a ruler is for it to "lie flat", and that ruler's "height" is no more than the few millimetres between its larger "top" and "under" sides. So not only is the diagram illogical, it is also anatomically incorrect!
Please observe these anatomically correct, scientific diagrams of an anthropmorphised ruler:
fig.1
fig.2
the height of a ruler is determined by the measurent of the side placed on the y axis in fig.2.
