In which unicorns and fuck-me pumps sadly lag far behind swords, glowy magic, and completely dark covers of meaninglessness.

How Americans Spend Their Day

I thought this was particularly interesting: The NYT's interactive graph (for Ponay: an intergraph) of how Americans spend their day.

There's a lot of useful information to be gleaned, here. For example:

65+ people watch a lot of TV.

People with advanced degrees are slow eaters.

You people with two children sure appear to work a lot.

Under Personal Care, apparently Americans spend an average of 54 seconds on "personal or private activities," like having sex.
