How fat are you ?

According to the BBC
"Obesity is a major issue around the world, and as more and more people put on excess weight it is a problem that is only likely to get worse. In the UK it is estimated that one in five men and a quarter of women are obese, and that as many as 30,000 people die prematurely every year from obesity-related conditions."

So, how fat are you?

The definition of Body Mass Index is ..
Your weight in kilograms divided by the square of your height in meters.

As I'm an old fashioned sort of a guy, I only know my weight in stones and pounds and my height in feet and inches. So I've written this little Javascript routine to do the sums for me.

Enjoy, don't lie, but don't be too unhappy with the results.
(Personally I think 'obese' is such an ugly word. I prefer 'jolly' or even 'fat'.)
