You're a man of the world, eh?

Statistical analysis based on some boring curiosity (I wanted to know what the most populous cities in the world today are) reveals some surprising tidbits, courtesy of Infoplease.com.

- Average population density of all nations: 126 people per square mile. In other words, the entire world averages out to be Bhutan.
- Third most populous country? The United States. (It is a really, really distant third.)
- The greater Tokyo metropolitan area would be the 34th most populous country in the world (and probably the most densely-populated)

If anyone wants the spreadsheet I cobbled together... you need a hobby. :-)

Tucked into the ass-end of an otherwise humdrum segment on Terror Targets, this unexpected moment of Zen brilliance:

"Terrorists are targeting the Pie-giving Angels of Indiana"

O.o
