I wonder how this is adjusted. I mean, you couldn't just use the raw numbers, they'd be meaningless - even us British understand that some states are more populous than others.

D'yer reckon they've adjusted it for population density, or by proportion who have internet access, or proportion literate enough to use a connection or what?

Doesn't look mammalian to me - I reckon they're dried ducks. You can't get proper dried llama foetuses these day, the shops are full of cheap immitations and most people can't tell the difference anyway.

I'd use a couple of springs from a car. Either one coil spring and just place it under the back or a pair of strips from a leaf-spring running backwards from the front leg.

At least she had knickers on - I can't get my daughter to stay clothed for more than ten minutes, as many seaside photos testify.

Perhaps it got confused with Little Spouse With A Hairy.

They're bulb-shaped because many years ago that was an easy shape to blow in glass. Tradition sticks.
