Time to start spamming Nigeria. Oh, wait...

RC - do you know http://www.gapminder.org/

If you like that Economist page, the above site could cause you to burn a whole day. This is a project driven by Hans Rosling, the guy who gives the amazing demographic/sword-swallowing talks on TED

PS - thanks for posting that, by the way.

I can't believe how long the US has sat at #3 and I am shocked that Nigeria is the one expected to knock the US to #4. Honestly, it wouldn't have been in my first ten guess.

And thanks for that. Never heard of it.

Long, long ago in a different world I threw a bunch of links to stuff like that up on an infamously orange & lime site.  It's still there, unattended for years (though with less orange/lime cause drastic/rumbas/torben kept bitching), and it's still sending in a dollar or two a day.  I keep thinking that one day I'll pour some more data through it.

That was admiration of the sincerest sort.
