What do the United States, Liberia and Myanmar have in common?

What 22 countries have the British never invaded?

These 40 maps of the world are full of useless but entertaining information:

Completely cool. There were a few interesting contradictions, the highest population density map didn't correlate with the "Lose of virginity" map, or perhaps it did. Interesting none the less. GREAT link.

My favorites:

a somewhat interesting footnote to the British sacking Washington D.C.:

In 1814 the British marched up the Potomac unopposed and burned the White House

Less than fifty years later in 1862, the largest Army in US history to that point was in position defending Washington D.C. - from Robert E. Lee and the confederates..

Why is that surprising? Many college football coaches make north of $5mill/ year!
