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

Standard deviation of 13 seconds means that nearly everyone takes between 8 and 34 seconds, though, right?

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, off to pee with a stopwatch. BRB.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Slayers! (Scooby-Doo/Buffy t-shirt. Which I need.)

Did they control for how much coffee and/or beer the various species had drunk?

Oh, this needs to be on Good Stuff.

I am emphatically not a fan of public proposals, but this one is actually pretty damn awesome. I really dig the Vote-Bot with flowers.

I just discovered my watch is dead.

I have a stopwatch function on my smartphone.

Note that I will not be availing myself of it the next time I go to the bathroom.
