CONCLUSION
Big sigh of relief. I feel better. Because having actual empirical scientific information as proof that we are ALL big dorks = VERY. DAMN. COMFORTING.

DISCLAIMER
All results, of course, have a possible error margin of approximately plus or minus 980 bloggers. Or 4900%. e.g. The number of bloggers copping to snoring.
Just saying.
