Todd Ginsberg has counted all of his sneezes since 2000, and he averages about two a day.

What other bodily functions need to be counted?

My roommate and I did something similar to this during the month of May in 1998. I counted 30 and he had 31, but one of his was an assist, so we ended up equal.

This was just an average, however...we were going for a control number, not our personal bests. Or worsts, I guess.

An assist? Can you, uh, explain that or something?

I have this "Stockton to Malone" visual in my mind, but I don't see how it works with a sneeze.

I'm not talking about sneezes.

hellinskira, that was almost as good as the "no onion links on the front page" setup from a couple months ago.... you win today's #1 in the hood award.

OK, I get it now. All right, everyone make fun of the Utahn for being naive.

Finally. A thread that includes the Utah Jazz and masturbation. It's about time.

That is the oddest and funniest website I've seen in a while. Thanks manero!

Vaguely on-topic: UtahJazz masturbation is a Googlewhack. Well, 'cept that UtahJazz isn't a word, but you can't have everything.

I can't decide which thread is more irrelevant -- this one, or the Rosie O'Donnell one.

If Rosie O'Donnell counted masturbative episodes (a new phrase, I like it) then we could merge the threads. Would that make you less bitter? :P
