The polity project’s country code for Israel is …… 666. You would have guessed that, right? Somewhere in in the project’s basements lives a research assistant of Palestinian descent who never completed his thesis because he is so busy enjoying his little in-joke.
Nope, it’s full of three digit codes. Then again, if you divide the average by the number of signs in the zodiac?
But is it true that if you average over the whole dataset you get 42?
