Can't watch at the moment; is this the guy who says to shake 7 times before you dry?

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

12, but I do 7 or 8 usually.

And yes.

Is it also the guy who ends with the joke that his next talk will be how to do the same with toiletpaper?

Why 12? 12 apostles. 12 tribes. 12 zodiac signs. 12 months. The one I like the best it's the biggest number with one syllable.
