World Mapper: a collection of world maps, where territories are re-sized on each map according to the subject of interest. (http://www.worldmapper.org/index.html)
Nice way of presenting statistics about the world.
As always, be careful what you read in to each statistic group.
True statistics don't lie, but people are always reading them incorrectly.
Example: housing prices
note: American house prices are low compared to England, they only look bigger
because America was bigger before the map was re-sized. This applies to all
countries; bear it in mind.

Also something totaly unrelated (http://ph.uncle-dave.co.uk/upload/images/predictions%20from%201901.jpg)
