ANALYSIS
For one reason or another, we are ALL big dorks. No one is perfect.
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.
I am like Queen of the Dorks. I like how you’ve made statistical data out of our posts. That’s one thing I couldn’t do because I hate math. I left that fact off my list.
Enjoyed reading these stats. Just learned of BlogHer last month thru twitter. It is all new to me, but sounds exciting so mabye another year for me to check into it.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, no, yes, no, yes, no, no, no, yes, yes, no, no
I cannot keep saying it, I am so in with the dorkiness and am sad that I cannot come revel in it.
I want to see who snores, compare boob size and business cards, and maybe get licked…although will settle for a hug.
Living vicariously *sigh*

From one dork to another : CONGRATULATIONS!!
You have been awarded the Arte Y Pico award. Yeah, I dunno what it is either. But more details at my blog.
It is fascinating that there are so many lickers out there. Who knew?
I’ve always wondered about that. Its fun reading the stats.
Too bad you didn’t stat how many would admit to blogging in the nude. I understand though … You wouldn’t be able to NOT picture each one as you asked. But, it’s a dirty job and someone has to do it. Maybe next time.
HA! Love it!
It was nice meeting you this morning at the Ice Breaker opening session. I love the stats post. It gave me a good laugh! Enjoy the rest of the show.
