Interesting. Can we have have at least a tiny bit of info how this data came to be?
Not just this one, but all the infographs, maps etc. Always leave entirely open if someone just guessed the data for the lulz.

Oh dear God...

Haha, I do quick dumps. Maybe when I have more time, but in the meantime you guys usually pull through digging around, and you usually find some extra cool stuff too. :)
So basically you're doing the "don't ask, just say something on the Internet to issue a challenge" method of learning stuff?

I pick from the meme firehose (feeds) ones I know will make for interesting threads. It is a vibe. It does not take me long to get the memes, so it is a fun passive thing. I do this for fun too. :) It is also why I insist that we use "meme" in the Dawkins sense (see sidebar).
Sometimes its a fine line between infographs and memes. Sometimes it isn't
