Case in point: I'm 6'6" and I'm about 295.
The Calculator says that my normal weight should be 161-216.
That's physically and surgically impossible.
The BMI uses a square function, not a cube function. It assumes you're two-dimensional.
@ rob: Well, some of these fashion models would qualify as 2-D.
