Fun Facts!

With the dog days of summer in full swing, the White Sox suckage in full effect, and my head full of work-related nonsense...there's really not much for me to blog about lately. So here's five fun facts courtesy of The Economist's World In Figures 2005 Edition that are sure to amaze your friends and enchance your pick-up skills at parties.

-Belgium has the highest quantity of color TVs per 100 households, at 99.6.

-Taiwan has the highest number of mobile phones per 100 residents, at 106.2. So if you take 100 Taiwanese at random, chances are 6 of them are probably cheating on their significant other.

-The US has produced the most Nobel Peace Prize winners, with 17. So all those supposed peace loving Frenchies and Germans can shove that up their asses.

-There are 6,302 shipping/cruise vessels registered to Panama, but only 5 with Panamanian ownership. Gotta love banana republics!

-Lebanon has the highest rate of car ownership...especially impressive given the fact that car bombing used to be all the rage there.
