The happiest places on earth

I'm unsurprised by Anita's list of the happiest countries in the world. Not that she compiled the list - she is merely passing it on.

Some might point out that all these countries are well-fed. Some might reflect that Belgium has now been twelve months without a government - which has got to be good for the inhabitants' general well-being. And some might contemplate reporting Disneyworld, which is not on the list, under the Trades Descriptions Act.

Personally, given the preponderance of countries at extreme latitudes, I am prepared to conclude that this is simply proof of the old sociological theorem, that blond(e)s have more fun.
