Actually, I saw it about 45 min before you posted.  I was just doing other things  :laugh:

In other nooz, apparently, I can attract wild turkeys by making murloc noises at them.  There's one roaming around where I live (got separated from the flock I guess…  poor thing seems lost).  I was out smoking when I saw it, and I made the noises, and it started coming closer and replying.  I kept doing the same sort of call-response thing until it was right in front of my face.  Then I freaked-out about its theropod feet and decided it was best to go back inside.  Well, that, and I finished smoking.

Someone will have to see if you can attract cassowaries by making Zergling noises at them.  Hopefully while wearing armor.  Cassowaries are scary.

Meanwhile, down in 'STRAYA:
You know you're in Australia (and possibly bogan country) when every house in the street is a bungalow, every car is a ute, and there are a couple of big reds duking it out on main street.

Why do we call them boxing kangaroos? They are muay thai kangaroos!

Cassowaries are scary.
So are emus. Both will make you believe they are velociraptors in disguise.

Yeah, the whole map looks dodgy. What does "% of total" even mean? Is it saying that 75-100% of all tea is consumed in Russia, and also China and India, and the UK too? That doesn't add up. If it meant something like "75-100% of the population consume tea/coffee" it might make more sense, but then there'd be overlap in some places where both are drunk regularly, and that isn't shown either. Looks like the most likely description is "% association of national stereotype with tea".

I think it's "of all coffee and tea units drank in this area, coffee is 75% or more of that total, or tea is 75% or more of that total, etc."
