Now, that is totally bizarre. Surely you shoulda have a better idea of how
I am, based on my reply to the bounciness thread. :-) I am seriously
underweight for my height; there's NO WAY I can be construed to be
well-built, not by any stretch of imagination. Unless you consider an
assemblage of skin and flagpoles to be well-built, of course. :-P

Now, that is even more bizarre. I neither have any such charts in my
possession, nor am I even remotely interested in such things. But of
course, we all have weird ideas about people we never met IRL, so it's
none of your fault. :-)

Don't we all? :-P

Sure... I promise you you'll be surprised at the discrepancy between my
appearance and the other-worldliness of Ebisedian. ;-)
