Is this accurate?

This website is a BMI calculator. I think it is way out of whack it claims that I am overweight as a 6 foot tall man weighing 190 lbs. The recommended weight for a man my height is 137lbs. Is that ridiculous or what?

    137 seems a little light. my husband is 6'2" and weighs 190--he's says he's about 20 over.
