you mean your BMI? as far as I know you can’t really use maths to calculate bone density and body make up… you need calippers or electronic sensors… ---

Total Weight - Fat? or Total Weight - Fat - Bones? Do you see where I am going with this? ---

> [@killersheep](#): > > Does anyone know the equation to calculate this? The most accurate method is to weigh yourself underwater. Then do some maths : Body density = Wa/(((Wa-Ww)/Dw)-(RV + 100cc)), where Wa=body weight in air (kg), Ww=body weight in water (kg), Dw=density of water, RV=residual lung volume, and 100cc is the correction for air trapped in the gastrointestinal tract. The problem is you need a f\*&^&\*\* big tank and a degree in physics to work it out. 🙂 ---

Good lord…that picture is creepy. Reminds me of this wacked out German “Artist” that I saw once, where he takes dead people, strips their skin, lacquers the remaining tissue (muscle, circulatory system, some of the bigger organs [lung, heart etc]), and then reattaches it to the skeletons in various poses.
