Hehe - I did see the survey last week - however, there must be an error margin - that margin is me.


Quote:
Over a third of the population of Denmark also sings aloud on a daily basis, and 80 percent of them laugh daily. Danes were also found to dance more often than folk from other countries.
That unfortunally is true
(Although, I thought everybody laughed daily?)

Danes did show to be inhibited in one area of the survey: crying. Shedding tears is more common in Greece than elsewhere in Europe.
I guess this means Xandax and Vicsun still have a chance to be viewed as virile and manly, however

We'll have to take your word for it, as I have no plans to find out how virile our resident Dane is.

What an odd, odd survey.

Well, I guess most of the people I know are Danish, because I'm hugged rather frequently. And I'd have to agree with Xandax: I thought people laugh every day. I sure as heck do, sometimes at a rate as much as once an hour. As for singing and dancing... only when heavily under the influence.

I've no doubt most here will view your intentions with considerable relief

I agree with Chim that this appears to be a very strange survey...it's done by a British market research institute, I wonder for what purpose? I mean, for what marketing reasons do you want to know how often people laugh or hug in 8 European countries?
I looked at their website, but I couldn't find this particular survey.

Maybe it's to stop the vicious HTD epidemic.

Indeed, it makes you wonder exactly what kind of products they are hoping to sell.

Hmmm... The only thing I am able to think of is some kind of mood-altering psychotropic medication. Disturbing.....

A longer danish article in another newspaper mentions it was done for "Snuggle" (hehe), and consisted of surveys done by 500 person from each of the 8 contries. I can't find mention of it on BMRB either.
