to return to a topic that got endlessly hashed and re-hashed several months
ago -- here's an interesting statistic (please don't yell at me if this has
already been posted):

	"... a 1973 market study ... [found] that of the 83.6 million women
	over thirteen years of age in the United States, 18.7 million did not
	remove hair from their legs or underarms, leaving 64.9 million women
	who did.  of the latter, a mere 15.8 million used electric razors and
	2.6 million used depilatories."
