It's not the length but the width that counts, I am told. At least among wimmin. :P

Why does it say length and girth on the same graph?  Anyway if that graph is accurate the average is 13 cms long and 11 cms wide so more squarish than I would have thought.

Because girth (aka diameter) is also measured by a linear length.

I will probably need to wash the tape measure after this.

I was wondering how long it would take to get posted here

I thought the thread would be shorter than this but it has covered a wide range of topics.

Diameter and not circumfrance?

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

The horizontal axis is either measuring girth or percentile.  It can't do both.

You are correct.  Circumference.
