Awesome: Ask a Biologist Q&A – Grizzly Bear vs. Lion

Ask a Biologist Q&A – Grizzly Bear vs. Lion

I remember a similar conversation of topic being raised on QI once. Apparently, bears would frequently win because they have a massive crushing power with their paws. One swipe to the head and the lion’s skull is crushed.

Maybe I won’t join  that group just yet….

Last night, for a work function, I got to stay in the Hilton Metropole in Brighton. Very nice!

Body Mass Index Problems (BMI)

I’ve long held the opinion that Body Mass Index measurements are a bunch of arse, because they don’t count the extra mass that occurs with muscle bulk.

Anyway, some one jokingly said at work that he was going to go on a diet by chopping off a leg, and that he’d bring his BMI down dramatically.

And I thought….. “Well now, that’s true!”.

So how do they measure BMI for people who have lost a limb? What about people with withered limbs? What if you have six fingers on each hand? How about people in wheelchairs?

Makes you wonder really…..
