BMI can be inaccurate in some cases, because people with a lot of muscle mass will be classified as "overweight" or "obese" according to BMI, when in reality, they're actually not at all.

Why do fat people smell like crap?

Not all fat people stink, and most do not smell enough to notice from a normal social distance. Fat people have so much extra skin that bacteria and mildew can build up in their fat folds and cause odor. Some smell so bad, people find it hard to be around them. There is little fat people can do to stop this, other than to lose weight, and they can really only hold it at bay with regular showers and baths. In extreme cases, a person can be so fat that they can not even reach in between their fat folds or other hard to reach areas of the human body.

And so blind people can hate them too! (Joke.)

Do you have to pay both ASCAP and BMI?

To publicly perform music, either live or recorded, you need permission from the copyright holder. The easiest way to do this is to get a blanket license from the performing rights organizations, one of which is ASCAP.

As a composer or songwriter, there's no requirement to join a performing rights organization, but it's considerably easier than trying to handle all the royalty paperwork yourself--if you had a hit on your hands, would you really want to have to license every radio station, restaurant, and roller rink in the country?

ASCAP in particular also has support and education programs for new artists, which many find invaluable for networking.
