Bran the Builder's been busy.

"Dieter Wildung, a former director of Berlin's Egyptian Museum, said it is "common knowledge in serious Egyptology" that the pyramid builders were not slaves and that the construction of the pyramids and the story of the Israelites in Egypt were separated by hundreds of years."

It is a developer,a builder that holds family dear. A genius with a big flat tail. The majestic Beaver is the perfect being to use as a Canadian Symbol. Not only is it a hardy survivor of the winter elements but also ferocious and offensive when times call for it.

The Beaver in all its hairy wonder, is nothing to be ashamed of.

That's why body builders spend so much time walking at a moderate pace.

Did a quick google search to see if I could figure out the story behind this... only got more confused. Saw a photo of her next to other female body builders - and she makes them look downright feminine. Every single piece of my brain is saying "That's a dude."

I'm gonna go with my instincts on this one and call shenanigans.

Hey Discovery channel, stop bringing us the soap opera that is "American Chopper" and let us watch any of the builders portrayed in this video every week. Nothing the Tuttles have done even comes close to these amazing bikes.

Of course it's a risk factor. I too would be a fool not to agree. I just think that there are confounding factors that make the health consequences of a particular BMI difficult to unravel. Thus, we should avoid playing doctor for people that likely already have doctors.

Thank you for clarifying. Yes of course that was the part of the argument I meant. The latter half statement you made is something I agree is not productive or appropriate.
Re the trivial jump: BMI is a imperfect scale to be sure. It does not account for exceptionally muscular people among other things. I think at a certain point we got disjointed on just what we were arguing with one another.
Perhaps my fault. In short my stance is this. BMI is not a clear indicator of much of anything. It, under many circumstances can provide excellent early warning or, in cases where people are already known to be overweight (clearly not muscular) provide a scale on which to measure the severity of their problem.
Details matter and circumstance matter, I would be a fool not to agree.
My specific question though was based on my deduction that your stance was: In people who are in the overwhelming majority (being that there are way more properly assessed clinically obese than body builders)that obesity was not a major risk factor for a myriad of other diseases.
If that was the wrong assessment of your position I will be overjoyed to hear it.

While I agree we might not change each others' minds I'm not sure I'm entirely clear on which point in my last post you explicitly disagree with.
You believe it is trivial to jump from BMI to the healthiness of an individual? Would you stand by that claim in the case of, for example, extremely muscular athletes? Arnold has a BMI around 33 (Obese), is he doomed to future health complications as a result? I'm honestly shocked that someone that seems to keep appraised of the literature would put so much emphasis on such a flawed measure of overall health. Clearly there are interacting risk factors, no?

Cheers to you as well Bmacs, while we disagree on that point I appreciate the conversation.
I think we are at an impasse however, and will need to agree to disagree.
The best to you though.

Why do baseball players look so fat? They're not wearing American Football style padding are they? They're not uber muscled body builders are they?

Professional athletes who go to work and sit on their asses for 1/9 the time when on "offense", jog 100-200 feet to thier "defensive" positions, only to stand around and wait for something to happen that will require, at most, several seconds of effort. I bet their heart rates rarely surpass 100bpm, much less their target zones. (Pitchers aand catchers exempt from this description, of course, but not Pablo Sandoval.)


So basically, it's because they are fat. Huh.

I'd have thought basic professionalism would dictate they look after themselves. Even if they don't need to be able to sprint like a football player, basic co-ordination and physical reactions would be better if they were slim. If nothing else, being on TV regularly would give me extra motivation to look my best.
