Every Nation Is Number 1 at Something

And my own sweet land of liberty? We Americans lead the world in Nobel laureates and getting killed by lawnmowers. Yeehaw!

USA! USA! USA!

Doghouse Diaries created this map showing what every country excels at. You can see a larger version here.

Do you need personal space? Head to Greenland. The most women per man? Estonia. Do you like velociraptor bones? Get thee to Mongolia.

I could go on, but I need to go mow the lawn. Here, hold my beer.

Neat! My mind is blown that somewhere other than Brazil is first for Brazil nuts. Also, does are Sudan & Syria not first at anything? I'm certain Belgium is only #1 at Relaxing because of all that delicious chocolate, and I think there's quite a few cricket playing countries who'd disagree that Australia is #1.

Really. Had it been me there EVERY kid in a 5-block radius around that store would have heard me swearing like a drunken sailor arguing with a drunken trucker, mainly because I'd be unhappy about having to clean up such a huge mess!

Probable reasons this happened:
1) the store cheaped out and either went with compromised used fixtures, or did not use the proper weight rated fixtures
2) the fixture was rated for the correct weight, but was improperly assembled.
3) the fixture was not properly leveled. This takes a little extra effort, but is worth it
4) even if the fixtures were correct and properly installed and levelled, if the other side was completely empty this could happen. Not as likely, but possible.

Wait just a minute, how did they know to be taping at that moment? Why were they intently taping the security camera from their own camera? Did they mess with the shelves or just sense the impeding doom?
I'm probably over-thinking it.
