-three times the circumference of your head gives your height
-twice the circumference of your wrist gives neck circumference
are the above measurements correct?
does anyone know of any other measurements?
-
Interesting Hammy. Those measures are correct on my body.
Bend your elbow and pull your wrist up so you can measure around your forearm via your palm and elbow. That's what your waist is...or should be. When shopping for pants you can fasten the top button and put your forearm in. The waist should fit snugly from palm to elbow.

I read a study about 4 years ago which showed that in rabbits the length of their hind feet can be used as a predictor of penis size.
...and I have my shoes specially made to accommodate my exceptionally large feet. Honest !

Except that I have small feet but I'm hung like a moose. It's the Italian genes.
Donnah, your waist measurement trick doesn't work for me. Is there a fatass version that uses the length from my knee to my ankle or something? =P

I've generally found that the size of the you know what coincides to the size of the hands, except in the case of the tall, thin men, the ectomorphs. No correlation there.

Just how much experience are your findings based upon, Nancy??? [:D]

Jay, I've seen your picture and you are a long way from being a fatass. Anyway, as a trucker once told me when I patted his belly and asked him what it was "it takes a big hammer to drive a ten inch spike".
John, quit picking on Nancy, she is a nurse after all, so she's probably seen more body parts than all of us combined....except Chris.
-
Thanks for the compliment. I still think I'm a big fatass. =) I usually tell people it's a fuel tank for a sex machine, but I think I like the trucker's line better.

Jay !!..Donnah is wrong...you are a fatass [:D]!! (just jesting...you are as svelt as Adonis himself !!..just like me really [:D]
...actually, is the word 'fatass ' a representation of quintessential American colloquial slang ?

Yep. We like to append -ass on things to make them more extreme. You're not just fat, you're a fatass! You're not just dumb, you're a dumbass! We're very ass obsessed.

Going by that logic, does "smartass" means "extremely smart"?
