You Think YOU Got it Tough?

A handy little chart has been released by a group called Save the Children USA called the "State of the World's Mothers 205." This ranks countries by various standards such as infant mortality and access to such things as health care, education, food and water.

Out of 110 countries, I only found listings for the Top and Bottom Ten (or so - there were ties), so (drum roll please) here's the best and worst:

THE MOTHERS' INDEX

5. Germany
6. Netherlands

Bottom 10 Countries:

100. Eritrea, Cambodia - tied

106. Yemen

Come on, now! There's places worse than Yemen or Ethiopia? Talk about "My life really sucks!"

I know, someone out there will think I shouldn't be having fun with this, but if you can't screw it, eat it or play with it, what damn good is it?
