Do you know your ape index?

[vavavroom]

I'm not talking about your luxurious body fur, I'm talking about the ratio of your arm span to your height. I'm a bit of an ape with a +2 ape index.

1.0555 ratio.

Where's the APE J300 spec for the various APE grades?

Arms outstretched measured with fingertips fully extended divided by your height, right?

Is the result used by the garment industry or gymnasts?

Those don't work anyway; you need an ape measure.

I thought this had to do with stonks.

Ok I had to read the topic and the responses ...like twice....you really are bored today to think of this one?

Besides your arm length is likely caused from the surfing (visualization required)

This post is useless until you mention what the ape index for an actual ape is. I dare you to do the measuring. P.S. That looks more like a pony.

And you call yourself a mechanic?

Only one mechanic job I can think of that I have ever used a tape measure for.

There is nothing sartorial about the ape index. It's only somewhat relevant to sports and applies mostly to climbers, boxers, basketball players, and swimmers.

+2 for this ape. Oversized hands and feet as well. Not fun buying gloves or shoes.

Trying to picture this in my head. If your arm span is 6 feet, you are 3 feet tall?

You've never measured a wheel base or a brake rotor or drum? You have never measured suspension components or adjusted headlights? Just to name a few applications. Ever cut a roof rack to width? Ever fabricate anything?

+2 means his arm span is 2 inches longer than his height.
