Also, post the method by which your bodyfat % was measured. That way we can have a good laugh at how unreliable the results are.

How do you measure you're body fat?

Cut off your fat. Stick it on the scales. Divide by 7.8 and then plus 4.

Exactly.
What is the most precise (read: not the same thing as accurate), way of measuring your own bodyfat anyway?

I am 0.5% body fat and I measured my body fat with a fork.
edit:
lobo: I think most precise and acurate way of measuring body fat is with a blood test.

I assume you mean without having your corpse dissected in a cadaver study?
Most people seem to think that “Hydrostatic Body Fat Testing (Hydro-Densitometry)” is probably the best method. But it has been proven to be fairly inaccurate aswell.
I think a DEXA scan is probably the most precise method, if you don’t mind the radiation.
But really, who cares…
The best method is guessing
