Default Normdist Problem

I put in the following:
X=-.055762
Mean=.005
SD=.04
Cumulative=FALSE =means probability mass function, not cumulative
The result displayed is 3.14615427

The result makes no sense to me. Any result over one makes no sense to me.

I reviewed the answer from a previous thread (Jerry W. Lewis, 8/3/2006) that
continuous functions do not have a probability mass, but rather a pdf, an
integral over a tiny range around -.055, but the Excel function result still
makes no sense.

What am I missing here?
