Chart of the day is....

...current world murder rates. From this page, where the map is more fun and interactive.

Canada, you're pathetic. Only 1.8 homicides per 100,000? A mile behind the rest on The Americas....c'mon guys, get with the program, buy some guns or something. Colombia got 61/100,000...that's what I call efficiency.

UPDATE: A Canadian viewer writes in:

"Figures are even lower if you express them in terms of murders per square meters..."
