Don't forget to wash those hands, guys

Who has cleaner hands -- guys or gals? According to the most recent research, gals win it by a long shot. Surprised? I'm not -- women are just cleaner in every sense of the word. Well, at least from my experience.

It's kind of disgusting to hear that only 57 percent of guys who visited a restroom at Atlanta's Turner Field washed their hands after using the restroom. Anything touched in a public restroom is game for sending who-knows-what to your hands. Sound icky so far?

The researchers, who somehow managed to spy on public restrooms (the sinks only, we hope) noted that 33 percent of men did not bother to wash their hands after using the restroom, while only 12 percent of women failed to do so. Now, even though many restrooms have automatic flushers, is it still a good idea to practice actual hygiene? Of course.
