somewheredowntheroad 20 Report post Posted February 17, 2012 I wonder what the range of usage is? Toilet paper outliers? What would be the usage two standard deviations from the mean? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomFest 576 Report post Posted February 17, 2012 57 per day seems high. I voted "false". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nurktwin 2,143 Report post Posted February 17, 2012 I'll give the answer later in the day when I vote, I don't want to sway any voters out there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieB 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2012 I said true, just a guess. But 57 a day is pretty high. (Sheila, I loved your statistical humor!!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
somewheredowntheroad 20 Report post Posted February 17, 2012 So I went to 50 Fun Toilet Facts, and found the following: 7. King George II of Great Britain died falling off a toilet on the 25th of October 1760. 10. The toilet is flushed more times during the Super Bowl halftime than at any time during the year. 11. 90% of pharmaceuticals taken by people are excreted through urination. Therefore our sewer systems contain heavy doses of drugs. A recent study by the EPA has found fish containing trace amounts of estrogen, cholesterol-lowering drugs, pain relievers, antibiotics, caffeine and even anti-depressants. 21. World Toilet Day takes place on November 19 of each year. 24. 40,000 Americans are injured by toilets each year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beamish 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2012 I'm saying "true". Knowing how much t.p. my ex-roomies went through, I wouldn't be surprised if the number is actually higher. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nurktwin 2,143 Report post Posted February 17, 2012 statistically it's true, but factually I say it's false. Why? Easy, cuz statistics only go so far. It's easy enough to find out how many rolls of toilet paper were made last year and how many sheets were on each roll. So take that number and how many people were registered as USA citizens and you come up with 20,805 sheets per person. The problem is what about the millions of aliens that use toilet paper and aren't registered to be counted!! The study is therefore flawed and doesn't mean shit (so to speak) and is not valid in my eyes. What I'd like to know is where does this money come from to do these studies, when we can't even feed the starving kids in the USA, let alone foreign countries!!!! I'm all for helping, but god damn it, help your own 1st and then move on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liberty 191 Report post Posted February 18, 2012 ... I said FALSE because they didn't say if the average American was a man or a woman, how much they drink or annnny of that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
