How Long It Takes to Earn a Beer, VisualizedS   The data was
actually put together by researchers from the bank UBS, so I
reckon we can trust the figures. Clearly, there's reason to be
cheerful: the data shows that an average American has to work
for about six minutes to earn a beer. Compare that to the UK
where it's more like 15 minutes, or India where it's upwards of
50, and you can deservedly feel smug. [Economist]  Image by
