3 days of not showering... which made me think (since I had a lot of water to waste with the 3 days quota)

1) Do they have a Guinness world record for this?

2) When did the notion of 'shower every day' come into popular minds in our modern age, I'm guessing post industrial revolution as cities became crowded, filthy and dirty, there was a demand to lower the potential of germs getting spread around.

3) Have our immune system deteriorated because we are cleaner these days? If yes, does it mean we should not keep our places 100% clean for babies because they need to develop their own immune system against the environment.

4) The New York Times proved my theory on 3) right : )

1) probably, they have a guinness record for everything

2) here's how i see it, you don't question the notion, you just follow it =)

3) it's all relative

4) as an added bonus, can i recommend grammar check as well? =P
