Mister ten percent

[Natalie x]

I was just wondering, as you do when time lays heavy on you hands ...

If it's true, as some suggest, that about ten percent of all men crossdress to some extent, how does that compare with other activities? Y'know, what percentage of men play golf, or work in supermarkets, or have small black and white dogs called Spike?

Any statisticians among us know anything?

I know 90 percent of men don't crossdress

I'm not a statistician, but here's the answer...

Hey, isn't that the formula for determining the temperature at which isotopes reach critical mass in a vacuum?:thumbsup:

Hoover or Electrolux?

Close, but no cigar. It's the equation providing the statistical significance of the RMSD between local structural patterns (i.e. a cluster of amino acids in space).

See Stark et al J. Mol. Biol., 326, 1307-1316, 2003 (PubMed).

Oddly enough, statistical analysis of crossdressing men would also seem to fit it., since the percentage of crossdressers can be conceived as a local structural pattern (I.e., there's more of them per capita in San Francisco than there is in the Yukon). Therefore, it *does* contain the answer to the original question...

Just one of those odd little things that springs to mind because my mind is currently still working in 'work' mode (been thinking about pattern classifications today while contemplating updating one of my ontologies).

We now return you to the usual string of 'Nice legs!' posts or pics of Tristen with a banana... :D

[Marianne]

Hoover or Electrolux?

naw, Dyson, especially the spherical ones (Pun intended, with relation to energy dissipation in a vacuum.) :)

Oh yeah, the one I was thinking of was HOT = BANG! :duh:

NICE response Marianne! :thumbsup: Wow.

Next time you post something like that, please include a warning label at the beginning. Something to the effect of:

Speaking of the nobel prize; I think the man that invented lycra Spandex should have gotten it.

Would do but she likes to roam around and destroy things, typical female really.

This thread is interesting in a strange way.

I do wonder though - about the statistics thing. Sad we'll never know.

I never looked at any of us as statistics?
