The commonly quoted number 98.6 was based on survey of of 25,000 people done by German physician Carl August Wunderlich in 1861. More modern studies, which have lowered the overall average to 98.2, emphasize the difference time of day makes for body temperature, with most people gaining about a degree between the early morning and late afternoon.
Some studies have also found that women have slightly higher average body temperatures than men.
Of course, you should attempt to employ this fact the next time you get caught stealing all the blankets.
