I work at a hospital, and yesterday whilst setting up a piece of equipment in the OR I overheard the surgeon talking about a large and short patient he had. Unfortunately the talk was rather derogatory, (it really is quite depressing the amount of smack some of the people on the surgical team spew - especially the doctors - when the patient is under anesthesia, but that is a subject for another day).
At any rate, he had estimated how many pounds per foot this patient was. I can't remember what that estimate was but I was rather intrigued by this concept and thought it might be a fun and interesting thread here where we could deflate the defamatory sting and make it our own prideful and positive thing.
To get things started, here is my lbs/ft statistic: ~31.7 lbs/ft at 6.3 feet of total height.
