I don't know if anyone else will find this interesting. I found it so because it was something I didn't know previously.
We are familiar with the fact that some drugs are dosed by body mass. However, some are better dosed by body surface area, particularly chemotherapy drugs. The article discusses that, and a couple of formulas used to estimate body surface area based on height and body mass. They are another example of metric in medicine. An NIH search of the topic confirms the two formulas given are the most commonly used. The article rambles a bit; get to the body surface area part.
