I was at the Salisbury Crags in Scotland last week. One of the climbers was Rose McHaggis. Along with noting that he looks nearly obese, though still climbed reasonbly well, almost sending his project, it became apparent that Rose is an asshole.
Incidentally his height and weight is posted on the SPCI web site http://www.rockclimbing.com/...5;page=unread#unread as 157 cm (6'3"), 105 kg (230 lbs).
So I put those numbers in a BMI calculator and out comes the following statement:
In reply to: Based on the height and weight entered, the BMI is 28.93. This result suggests you are overweight which increases the risk of becoming ill with problems such as high blood pressure, heart desiese, and cancer
Having seen myself in the mirror, it concerns me a little.
Thoughts?

Save your loved ones the cost of medical bills associated with treating chronic illness and just shoot yourself in the face?

No, but I have considered paying someone to shoot you in the face.

I see your problem. You should have used a converter not a calculator!

Yes. It still hurts today. I was hoping it would not. Maybe if my body weight was lower, I wouldn't hurt myself so much.

Don't forget though, cupcakes are a cure for a lot of ailments.
