Picture This: Just for laughs!

Everyone thinks they are best at something. Putting this claim to test, an online comic site, Dog House Diaries, has released a map which will surely tickle your funny bone. From making babies to being struck by lightning, the map has revealed some surprising and hilarious things that countries are best at. The map shows America has plenty of smart people earning the status of Nobel Laureate, but also plenty of not-so-smart people getting killed by runaway lawnmowers. Russia is a lead producer of nuclear warheads (agreed!) and raspberries (really?). With its booming film industry, India is undoubtedly the world leader in movies and its not-so-friendly neighbour, Pakistan in Field Hockey (?!). While Peru might evoke images of Inca monuments and panpipes, according to the map, the country leads the world in sandboarding. Unsurprisingly Brazil is the best at FIFA World Cup titles but Chile has been crowned with the unusual title of ‘Best at staying married’. The map is based on statistics gathered from across the Internet from sources including the World Bank and Guinness Book of World Records.
