BMI 22... Below average? I know what they mean by this, but I would not characterize it quite that way. I'd say I'm above average, because I'm in better shape than most, but oh well :)
Because I'm sitting down for the first time today since putting my shoes on this morning, I feel like doing some simple math to put my results into perspective...
According to that site, if everyone in the world had the same BMI as me, it would remove 15,144,647 tons from humanity..... that's 30,289,294,000lbs..... according to the internet:
The Empire State Building weighs 365,000 tons. So that's 41.49 Empire State Buildings.
The Titanic weighed 52,310 tons. So that's 289.51 Titanics.
A blue whale weighs about 210 tons. So that's 72,117 blue whales. The ever so reliable wikipedia claims there are roughly 5,000-12,000 blue whales left in Earth's oceans.
A male African elephant weighs about 4 tons. So that's 3,786,161.75 elephants. That's a lot of elephants. Worldelephantday.org says there are about 400,000 African elephants alive right now, which is way more than I was expecting.
The average doughnut weighs about 1.34oz, So that's 361,663,211,940.3 doughnuts. According this site Dunkin Donuts charges $0.95 per doughnut (when purchased singularly). So we're talking about $343,580,051,343.28 in potential doughnut sales. I know there's a quality joke here somewhere, but I need to pee.
