What did you expect? 

What really is the function of a rubber duck?: This graphic shows the routes taken by 29,000 plastic bath toys which were washed into the Pacific Ocean when a container was sent overboard in 1992 on its way from Hong Kong. It took several years for the rubber animals to float ashore across the world - some reaching the coast of France as late as 2007 - and many may still be out there

Seems Icelanders found a way to keep warm: The map shows the average age of losing ones virginity, with the Scandinavian nations and Portugal being the quickest off the mark, having sex for the first time aged 15-16, and Malaysians waiting the longest, being on average 23 the first time they have intercourse

 

Aussies, Poms and the Indians: A majority of the nations who still drive on the left side of the road are former British colonies. About 60 per cent of the world's population live in countries with right-hand traffic, with only 30 per cent of the world's roads carrying left-hand drivers

Every Jones, Smith and Murphy: The map showing the most common last name in each European country reveals unsurprisingly that Jones is rather popular in Wales and that there are a lot of Spanish people called Garcia. You will also not be the only Papadopolous in Athens, and if you shout Andersson down a street in Gothenburg, Sweden - a lot of blonde heads will turn

 

Residents of the red areas might want to stock up on ice cubes as they live in the parts of the world with the highest risk of drought. North Africa, the Middle East and Asia have several dark red areas as a result of their close proximity to the equator
