Hmm...
I can't download it! :?

No link is showing up for me. I've disabled my ad-blocking software and it still isn't showing up. I've also tried it in Internet Explorer with no luck.

Could you please post a direct link to the URL or something?
Thanks. :)

Here's the same video in YouTube. Quality is a worse than QT file.

Without getting too graphic here, Praeger breaks toilet paper users into two types, the "scrunchers" and the "folders." The former pretty much just wads up the paper and uses it, while the latter folds it neatly, getting more surface area to use, which, theoretically, cuts down on paper use.

"Folding takes more time than scrunching, and research already shows that you spend 47 minutes a day in the bathroom," Praeger says, "so if you add 10 or 20 seconds to fold, it will add up to more lost time. And I don't know that you will actually notice the savings from using less paper that way."


So the article is telling us that if I fold the toilet paper, I will waste 10 to 20 seconds; and if I don't fold the paper, I will be wasting the surface hence using more sheets.

I am not going to change my toilet habit after reading that.

A shocking news, German soldiers are using 10 rolls of toilet paper per day per person!

One German soldier made an explanation...
But the true reason for the fudging of statistics was revealed by one soldier in an internet chat room. "The grey recycled paper is the best way of cleaning small-calibre weapons - every soldier knows that," he said.


...Except with all that paper, it'd assume that they're firing roughly as many rounds as the average FPS player per day. :(
