Though it does not actually measure the percentage of body fat, it is a useful tool to estimate a healthy body weight based on how tall a person is. Due to its ease of measurement and calculation, it is the most widely used diagnostic tool to identify obesity problems within a population. However, it is not considered appropriate to use as a final indication for diagnosing individuals.[1] It was invented between 1830 and 1850 by the Belgian polymath Adolphe Quetelet during the course of developing "social physics".[2]<br><br>Body mass index is defined as the individual's body weight divided by the square of their height. The formulas universally used in medicine produce a unit of measure of kg/m2:<br><br><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_mass_index" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_mass_index</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[gonintendo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 15th 2008 9:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on bmi launches in-flight communications trial, voice gratefully excluded]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/bmi-launches-in-flight-communications-trial-voice-gratefully-ex/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/bmi-launches-in-flight-communications-trial-voice-gratefully-ex/</guid><description><![CDATA[hahahahahahahahaha.......chinese democracy<br><br>sorry i can't respect you with that picture.<br><br><br><br><br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[serialthriller78]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 15th 2008 9:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on bmi launches in-flight communications trial, voice gratefully excluded]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/bmi-launches-in-flight-communications-trial-voice-gratefully-ex/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/bmi-launches-in-flight-communications-trial-voice-gratefully-ex/</guid><description><![CDATA[[insert witty comeback here]]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[gonintendo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 15th 2008 10:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on bmi launches in-flight communications trial, voice gratefully excluded]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/bmi-launches-in-flight-communications-trial-voice-gratefully-ex/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/bmi-launches-in-flight-communications-trial-voice-gratefully-ex/</guid><description><![CDATA[i have to disagree with your commwnt about the british.

If you take a gsm phone (T-Mobile or AT&T) and hold it by a speaker it will make really loud beeping/buzzing noises.  Wi-Fi seems to be much safer and less disruptive, especially considering that they could control whether it was on/off, and possibly even the range that it extends.<br><br>Nonetheless, I am sure they ran at least a dozen test flights prior to accepting passengers.  Riding in this plane would probably (still) be safer than driving to your next destination.
