I was checking out the Height and Weight Stats page, and it looks like someone has entered faux information on the Jetsams... or put a decimal in a very wrong place or something. :?

In fact, looking now, it looks like there might be some spurious information for Chias and Kacheeks too. The standard deviations look rather deviant.

As a general rule, a standard deviation below about 8 is believable for heights and weights. Will go clear the fake ones now.

Thank you for clarifying what the 'standard' standard deviation will look like.

Yeah, some of these were waaaay off. :)
