    Why Are Geeks Either Really Skinny Or Completely Obese?

    Whenever we do one of those height/weight thingies, it shows that only around 10% of posters here are around average weight for their height, and those 10% tend to be posters who don't play much Civ or who don't consider Apolyton the most important thing in their lives right now.

    Discuss.

      Hate to agree with you but I'm average weight for my height and I don't play much Civ and Apolyton is somewhere to go when I'm really bored at work.

          ..and the mis-shaped 90% also tend to be people who think it's cool to have odd sleeping patterns.

            Probably because there is more time spend at computer/internet/tv/console than doing sports!?
            Excellence can be attained if you Care more than other think is wise, Risk more than others think is safe, Dream more than others think is practical and Expect more than others think is possible.

              Overall, though, the point is valid. You should have seen my physics classes...

                The answer is simple. Either they just stay at home in front of their pc/console/tv(whatever they fancy) and starve - hence they're skinny - or they just stay at home in front of their pc/console/tv(whatever they fancy) and have a big bowl of Doritos by their side all the time - hence they grow obese.

                  Funny you should bring this up. In Boddington's last anti-flab jihad he mentioned he was in the upper section of the "normal" weight grouping for his height.

                  Then a few days ago he mentioned he'd put on weight in the last 6 months.

                        So does this mean that civ alters your physical appearence?

                        Hmmm, me being 180 cm and about 90 kg: yep, there is some extra around my waist, but I wouldn't say I'm fat. I excersice every day (about 30 km = 20 miles bicycling) to keep in shape.
                        I'm not a complete idiot: some parts are still missing.

                          why do you start each word in your title with a capital letter?
