Tea is great, though the British people's obsession with it is a bit bizarre... On the 'Human Footprint' - these are obviously average numbers but the fact that they are an average doesn't allow me to identify with it. Nice try, though...

Interesting challenge to the accepted knowledge though.

We Americans don't eat much lamb or mutton at all. 59 foreign holidays taken? Wow - that's an amazing statistic. I wonder what that number would be for Americans. Bottles of fake tan? Huh?

There is no study that confirms the numbers. Unfortunately, a lot of otherwise intelligent people bought the phony statistic hook, line and sinker. A recent study performed on college students showed that there really isn't much of a difference between how much men and women talk; both use about 16000 words per day.
