I’m proud to be an American where at least I know… we bone the most. At least according to this map which measures the frequency of sex and duration of sex by country. We don’t have the longest sex, though; that honor goes to Australia. Those down under have sessions that last for a "marathon" time of a little over 4 minutes.
The biggest question when you travel the world isn’t what countries you’ll visit or what foods you’ll eat or what new things you’ll try, it’s figuring out the best way to document the whole damn thing. You can squeeze it all down to a minute
Different cultures, different food. Different folks, different strokes. Different armies, same soul evaporating packaged foods for army rations. Okay, that’s not exactly fair. Some countries obviously have it better than others (I’m looking at you France) but at the end of the day, most armies around the world are eating out of pouches and cans and what looks like condom wrappings.

When you travel the world, having a few drinks with your hosts is a great way to get a sense of the local culture. But excessive alcohol consumption can cause physiological consequences
Here’s a fun way to look at the world. What if every country’s population actually matched its size? So more populous places like Japan and Vietnam that are cramped in tiny specks of land now get to stretch their feet a bit while uselessly big countries like Canada and Australia get their population booted to smaller spaces.

If you want to put on a surgical mask, rubber gloves, goggles, ear muffs and trap yourself in a plastic bubble after watching this terrifying video of how fast an epidemic would spread across the world, well, I’d totally understand. Because it’s crazy fast. Using the world’s air transportation network, theoretical physicists have created a model showing how a disease originating from one city can taint the entire world.

What will happen in the far, far away future? Watch "The Future of Our World, a small glimpse into a timeline of epic scale." It is a classic slideshow but, since I know I will never see any of it, I just like to play it again from time to time.

They come bearing satellite TV. Brazil’s Batalhão de Operações Policiais Especiais, or BOPE, is an elite force of military police who often specialize in urban operations in Rio’s slums—or favelas. As the World Cup and the Olympics approach, BOPE forces are appearing more and more often. And their techniques are evolving.

This is insane. Well, only insane because I’m insanely jealous of amazing world crusader Graham Hughes. Hughes traveled to all 201 countries in the world plus 15 assorted territories without even flying. Even better, Hughes recorded a quick video of every single country he visited so we can all see what it’s like to truly travel the entire world in 4 minutes.
