I asked my audience six questions: some sensible, some ridiculous. I compared their results to the public. And the results were... interesting. • Graphics by William Marler: wmad.co.uk and his Lungs Podcast: lungspodcast.co.uk

I think the reason for the results of the "how weird are you" question is that YOU, Tom are a solid 5 on that scale. We watch your videos, we sympathise with the ways you think and behave so we must be ona similar wavelength here

my guess for why tom's audience rates it's wierdness at five is because we are ussually well aquanited with the internet, where we find weird interests, but we see more weird interests that we don't have,

I can’t accept these findings as legitimate. Owl McOwlface wasn’t in the top 3 of owl names from Twitter results.

1:42 I suspect it is an introvert thing. Or possibly an indoorsy person thing. (They tend to go hand in hand, from what I've heard.)

I think Athena was because there's a literal genus of small owls called Athene, not _directly_ because of the general association of Athene with owls. IOW, the respondents wouldn't have said Athena to a picture of a big owl.

One space is definitely correct. Two spaces is a relic from fixed with type (think typewriters) where it made the space between sentences clearer. All modern typefaces on all modern systems correctly spaces both letters and space after punctuation, and using multiple spaces can mess up the result. Source: Am graphic designer.

i've imagined a smell once, it was so nonchalant, i only just recalled it now, i was playing music with my friend and we tried to simulate smells with the music, and we did like a grassy smell, vanilla, and citrus
