I expect that they are somewhat amused.
They are Human after all, according to popular rumour.
Never trust those damned rumors
Depends. Once every two days, usually. But some times I poop everyday. It's a crapshoot (pun intended).
I would say my average is around 8 per day. I have a weak stomach
And people say I'm full of ****?
I'm quite regular. I "drop it like it's hot" once a day, and almost always in the morning. If I drink coffee, I'll need to poo a few minutes after my first few sips, although I can hold it in after that (and I usually do).
Sometimes I'll need to go again later in the day, but it's rare.
I'm not sure what to make of the fact that there are 84 posts regarding pooping.
It's a rather extreme fascination with excrement.
I find this exceedingly strange.
But then, that's just me...

Do you pee in the shower?
I record a mean of 2.11, with a standard deviation of 1.05. If you understand what that means, you are a crappy statistician....
Generally speaking: Pooping less than once per day is indicative of some sort of problem. The longer material hangs around the GI tract, the drier and harder it becomes, which can cause all sort of problems on the way out: hemorrhoids, tearing, straining, etc.
On the other hand, much more than three times a day is indicative of a problem too: a chronic upset stomach or other problem. Too much coffee - or too much alcohol the night before - can also irritate the stomach and intestines.
Most people's bowel-moving habits are closely related to their diet (kind of a no-brainer, huh?) Try to eat three or more times per day, and partake of a diet high in vegetables and fiber. I know "carbs" are a dirty word to some people, but foods like rice, pasta, oatmeal, and potatoes can give your stool some "soft, fluffy bulk" and keep the boats moving steadily down on the alimentary canal.

Really don't want to know what sort of crappy job you have...
Great...out of the frying pan...
I prefer to use butter, but to each his own. <shrugs>
Reminds me of an old joke from an otherwise long-forgotten British comedy:
PATIENT: The trouble is with my bowels.
DOCTOR: What's wrong with them? Aren't they regular?
PATIENT: Oh, they're regular. Every morning on the dot of 8 o'clock.
DOCTOR: Every morning on the dot of 8 o'clock? That's marvelous. What's wrong with that?
PATIENT: I don't wake up till 9.

A somewhat scatological rejoinder. Are you a follower of these trends?

Hmm, just came out of the bacon thread, and saw this thread. I'm up to an average of 3 sit downs a day, depending on my bacon intake.
healthy really is 3 times a day people believe it or not. I drop deuce a good 3-4 times a day it's very cathartic.

not.
Provide a link to this fact, and my "not" will into an "it".
