Does that scale do BMI? I wanna know how much of that is muscle... you're pretty strong to have been able to lift me like you did when I saw you at AC a couple years back. :)

The scale is just an old fashioned counterweight-type with sliders. Nothing so fancy.

Muscles I've got, in large quantities, and always have. You just can't see them. :P

That's not so uncommon. When I was a kid, my brother pointed out this very large man standing near the fieldhouse at a CU football game. I remarked that he looked really fat, but Russ told me it was almost all muscle. That was the physical trainer for the team, and he could bench press the both of us with one hand. I was impressed.

Since then, I've learned that one can easily tell the difference between a fat man, and a very muscular man with a healthy layer of fat over it. It's all in how it's worn. :-)

BMI is just done by dividing weight by height, it's not a very good indicator. The best method is the immersion technique, where you weigh how much water you displace.

There's other quite efficient tests, too. There are scales that you can step on barefoot that will test the electro-conductivity of your body mass, and tell you your percentage body fat. Unfortunately, those scales are quite expensive, and you have to keep feeding them reciept paper.
