And you are here why?

via Amnesty International (and The Guardian ), we have the above chart showing the usage of Capital Punishment worldwide. From The Guardian Despite more countries abolishing the death penalty, its practice remains commonplace.   China , together with  Iran ,  North Korea ,  Yemen  and the US (the only G7 country to still execute people) carried out the most executions last year.  So yeah, way to go US...

via James Offer , we have this interactive take on the almost 1 million  commonwealth citizens who died in the First World War. The vast majority were from the United Kingdom ( 781,858 ) but Canada, Australia, and India had 171,997  between them. Play around with this to see how the count climbs over time, as well as the nationality/age/burial-location of the dead

The Economist does the heavy-lifting, visualizing your death-modes (well, at least some of them).  Turns out, you are more likely to die of a lightning strike than a dog-bit - good to know I guess :-) (Click to embiggen)
