Do they exist?


Um, yes.

41% of the adult population is overweight (BMI >25).
13% of the population is obese (BMI >30).

That was from 2010.

Hell, I'm borderline overweight according to my BMI value (24.4).

Not a big fan of BMI, though. I'd need to drop 20 pounds to reach the middle of the scale, which means I'd have to lose muscle mass... Smiley: disappointed

BMI is a useless tool for anything other than large groups.


Also, the reason you don't see obese Danish people is because there are so few Danish people to begin with.

Yeah, BMI is more of a "god dammit everything else involves way too much math to be practical so here" type of tool.

I'm technically just into the overweight category now. I'm 184 pounds. But my body fat is only 15.9%, and my muscle mass is 54.7% (as of earlier today).

So by BMI, I'm just into the overweight range. But by bodyfat percentage, I'm in the healthy range (and only about 2% above the mean).

But this also doesn't take into consideration the healthy ranges for my build (I'm relatively stocky, so it's normal to carry some excess fat).

Gay, stocky build, lots of bodyhair, a full beard and an appreciation for manly men in leather. Clearly it is in your destiny to become a bear.

That's sort of what I've always imagined the Eastern Bloc (gay bar in the East Village) would be like.

The last time I was in the city, and we decided to head there, I ended up getting wasted while still around Christopher St.Smiley: lol

Hah, just read this on a Dutch news site: a girl hired as intern at a new museum will continue as director in charge of the whole museum.

She won some sort of competition to intern as a junior manager and both she and the museum liked that so much that they're hiring her full-time to replace their current director (who, at 72, was the oldest museum director in the country).

Huh? Are there any other positions, or just Director and Junior Manager/Intern? Because that sounds awfully capricious. Maybe I should read it again, am I missing something?

She won some competition to be junior manager/director so interning at a high position and she apparently did such a good job that they want her full time. There's a reason this is on a national news site. Smiley: tongue

I had to remind myself your country is a lot smaller. National news has a bit of a different connotation here.

I wiki'd it earlier. Smiley: grin

Sounded like something in our state/local news/newpaper/whatever, which I guess would be that size-ish.

Depending on the state, yes. I'm sure most of the states in the midwest are a lot less populated (and many times the size).

Yeah, that's an understatement. Smiley: lol

320 million / 50 states is like 6.4 million per state on average.

Yay math! Smiley: yippee

5% of the US's population, but -

The City itself is just over 8 million.

Of course, there's area, but the City is less than 1/5 the size of the Netherlands. Then there's population density but I can't really translate that because we speak English here! Miles! Look it up! It's an all-English word! Not them kilothingies you feriners use! Probably a French word, to boot.
