CROWDSOURCED ABSURDITY

found a useless
fact?

If you've stumbled on a real, sourceable, oddly-specific country statistic — send it our way. The best ones get plotted.

WHAT MAKES A GOOD INDEX
1. A clear, comparable metric. "Sheep per capita," not "sheep stuff."
2. An unexpected leader. The Vatican beating France at wine — that's the joke.
3. A real source. Wikipedia is fine. Made-up numbers are not.

Short, descriptive. The thing being measured.
The country that wins this index.
