TMI

OK, yeah, I'm actually curious. And it's been way too long since my last poll.

[Poll #1462446]
(If you take baths often enough that they affect the average, please feel free to count them as well.)

I read once that the average is 8 for men, 9 for women. I think most of my friends are around 4-5. Full disclosure: I'm at 6. Poll prompted in part by this advice column question and answer.

EDIT: Most interesting thing about these results so far, assuming I'm correct on my friends' gender identities, is that 35% of the men (5/14) shower over once a week, but only 5% (1/20) of the women do. And the rest of the data also skew way higher for men (mean of 7.1 vs. 5.1, with a std dev of 1.9 for each group). Clearly what I heard previously about the average being higher for women is way off among my friends.

yesssss, it was so great!

also, i was just reading the hax facebook community today, http://www.facebook.com/carolyn.hax apparently there is now a hole in the archives. oh noes! but, if you are ever absurdly, ridiculously, unbelievably bored, you can read years and years and years of chat transcripts. it's great fun and it holds up pretty well. it's also nice to see the evolution of some of her views.

i may or may not own a hax pack tshirt from donating to ALS... lick als!
