I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

When I told this story to Princesca she kind of did that Marge Simpson groan Marge does at Homer. :hmm:  Upon reflection I think she may think this chick was flirting with me. :sleep:

Yeah, wtf, cal, Girlfriends?
Dude, I'm kind of a stud.  Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. :(

I'm beginning to think BMI might use suspect methods.

While I think it's probably a good rule of thumb that BMI>25 is probably overweight--hell, I can look at myself, especially when I sit down, and tell I'm still overweight despite having a "normal" BMI of 24.8.

But I was fooling around with the numbers to see how light I would have to be in order to be underweight.  I figured, probably 150--I've been 155, and it is really skinny.  Apparently, I would have to weigh 129 pounds to be underweight.  Who came up with the formula, the Totenkopfverbande? :blink:

The lower limit seems more realistic for smaller humans than for taller ones. I can see how a girl at 168cm is still normal weight at slightly above 50kg, but a 193cm guy at 66kg either is probably not very healthy...

Oh, I see my problem.  I was calculating my height with my 6" heels on.  Obvious when you think about it!

(Seriously, WTF. :lol: )

To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

So it gives metric for height (i.e. the one where most anglos outside the US know imperial too) but not weight? :rolleyes:

No. I mean yes. I mean I'm trying to say that you're wrong.

Wtf is up with "no shoes"? I'd rather be dead by obesity if I can't wear my Manolos.

I'm generally oscillating between 25 and 26 BMI.
