Looking through the members who have joined so far, I've noticed a far
bigger percentage like cats than dogs.  I think this is very interesting
and would love to see some statistics like this someday about the about
the members.  Nothing that would jeopordize privacy, just the
percentages of male/female, age range, cats vs dogs etc.


Hmm, tossing out some silly thoughts as to why we might like cats more than
dogs:

- cats are less likely to destroy LEGO bricks (though they have just as much
capability to destroy your creations).

- dogs are more macho pets than cats, playing with LEGO is not macho...

- cats don't need to be walked, walking the dog takes away from time to play
well

- dogs require bigger houses/apartments, paying mortgage/rent on a bigger
place leaves less money for LEGO

Definitely would like to see the distribution of ages (and when people came
out of their dark ages, if any). Of course any other compilations of
statistics would be interesting also.
