I believe that the bbc's health calculator is a sham:

Health Calculator

Can anyone get less than 71.4?

# I managed to get 70.6
by using a ludicrous BMI.

How many people know their BMI offhand?
Better surely to have the calculator work this
out for you?

# 67.4 with ridiculous answers
It's a good thing they say this -

# Unless you're a fat cunt
If you put in a body mass index of 2200 (whatever that is), and answer all the obviously wrong questions, you'll croak at 67.

Not bad considering you must weight about 4.5 tons.
