So take your time with these.  Grab a coffee - or something stronger if you are a Canuck.  Or a Russian, apparently - and muse on these.....

Booze Consumption Around The World

We Canadians don't have to hide our light under a bushel basket to anyone.

Well, unless that anyone is from Russia.  Or the Ukraine.  Or Latvia.  Or Estonia. Or Belarus.

Okay, or Australia.  Or Kazakhstan.  Or France. Or Argentina.  Or Nigeria. Or Germany.  Or Spain.  Or Italy.

Holy crap, when you really look at this, what a bunch of pikers we are.

But we kick the ass of those Mongolians, I tell ya!

You'll get full before you get hammered.  Those clever Ruskies......

It began to break up about 200 million years ago.  With one ocean all around it.

Somebody has painstakingly recreated where each modern day country would have been.

Who knew that you could have seen Morocco from the Halifax harbour......

Which, of course, was pretty close to Central Africa not that long ago.

Gotta Love The U S of A

Highest paid public servants in the US.

That is amazing.  Enough to make you spit out your  _____________ (add your drink here from 2nd graph based on nationality).
