Kind of surprising how Japan has the second most number of McDonalds. Thought it would’ve been something like Canada.
Map 6 of Pangae was… interesting. Wish there were more like those

The answers to the survey come from individual testimony.It's hard to say whether it's true for any of them. Americans and Europeans probably also overestimate their age, especially girls. It's not something thatis easily substantiated. One of my husband's publishing colleagues wrote this: "It IS good. You can even extrapolate from the various maps that if you're from Iceland, you've had sex at age 15, but enjoyed 26 weeks maternity leave, and then became a researcher with a hard core coffee habit. :-)" Lois

That's not at all surprising mike. Most Coaching contracts are considered as supplemental and added to an already existing salary whereas collegiate contracts are usually based on the coach's reputation and are negotiable, e.g. Alabama's coach Nick Saban makes over 5 million. Pro sport coaches the same only their salaries are weeeell above the others. http://www.coacheshotseat.com/SalariesContracts.htm Cap't Jack
