BMI? Oh please..

Some of you might know that I am a practitioner of a certain self defense system. I train twice a week. (approximately 4 hours/week)
Today, I heard some kid blabbering about BMI, gushing about how healthy her BMI (Body Mass Index) was.
She had a BMI of 19, and had a skinny build. For some reason, some people find it necessary to compare BMIs, so this person (she might be developing an eating disorder for all I know) asked me about my own BMI.

About my build:
Length: 153cm / 5ft
Weight: +- 53kg / 117lbs (changes throughout my cycle)
Body type: Mesomorphic/Endomorphic
BMI: Height (cm) / (Weight (kg))^2

The Immune System (Book)

The Immune System
For those of you who don't know yet, I'm a sucker for immunology and infectious diseases. Several weeks ago, the Dutch Railways (also called NS) gave me a fake heart attack, but I did manage to pass my Immunology test with 8.7 out of 10 pts.
Thanks to this book. So yeah, it's a great book.
