Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Standard deviation of 13 seconds means that nearly everyone takes between 8 and 34 seconds, though, right? That seems not at all like "roughly the same period of time" to me, as far as times less than a minute go.

Because books.
Why on earth is approximate time of urination important at all?

(Also, what do they yell instead of "George Bush!" in "Only For Now" now? Obama??)
I was wondering this, too.

I think they change that line up pretty regularly.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

"Ted Cruz" has the same number of syllables...

If the distribution follows a bell curve, about two thirds of everyone. However, if I'm reading this right, they're saying that the average time for almost every species is 21 seconds. They all tend to cluster around the same point. The standard deviation is within each species, not between the averages for each species.
