Love it!

But have some questions.

Why couldnt they get data on North American booze consumption? I guess I musta missed something.

And about the longest great circle route that stretches from Pakistan to Kamchatka: they said "at a speed of 7.5 knots it would take 20 years to complete". At that speed (the speed of sailing ship) it would only take about three months to complete. Their math was a bit off.

But it is very mindbending.

Russians apparently have the biggest boobs. Who knew?

My favourite map to look at, is the Internet map. That would make awesome wallpaper for my laptop. 8)

I was wondering if the womens breast size statistics are counting or taking into account any kind of breast augmentation or reduction?

I am pretty sure that the USA, Western Europe, and probably Japan, have more breast implants per capita than does the Russian Republic.
