      honestly, I would have no idea.

      Something important to remember about averages is that there are different types (mean, median, mode etc), and the type chosen doesn’t necessarily represent the data given. The range of the data is also very important!

      A perfect example is that the average number of children in a house is 2.3 (or something along those lines). A 0.3 of a child means nothing! 2 to 3 however means a lot.

      So, maybe it’s true, maybe not, but I’d bet that the range on this data is VERY large!

      I don’t think so. As far as I know, there isn’t much of a correlation between penis size and anything else (people often say it’s connected to the size of your feet, or your nose, or your hands). I think it’s just fairer to say that everyone (and every part of everyone) comes in all different shapes and sizes!

      Honestly I wouldn’t know, but I’ve never heard of anything like that before.

      Aimee also brings a very important point about data, too!

      One thing I’ve heard a lot and I have verified with a lot of people (and it seems to be true) is that the length of your foot is the same as the length of your forearm. From heel to toe should be the same as from the inside of the bent elbow to wrist. Let me know if it’s true for you (it is certainly for me :P)
