Well, here's a sobering, yet not surprising, information bomb you can absorb as you clean up breakfast eaten on your Ikea dishes at your Ikea table and then sit back in your Ikea chair and prop your feet up on your Ikea coffee table. In 2012, Ikea used 17.8 million cubic yards of wood while manufacturing the roughly 100 million products they sell each year, which comes out to roughly one percent of the world's commercial wood supply. That's enough wood to build a stairway to the moon and a corkscrew slide back to earth, with enough left over to build a three-season lunar gazebo. We think. Science is tricky.

Ikea uses wood?

Well yes, those boards are made with wood fibers.

Asian do sure smoke a lot.

I guess it's good that mongolia can find something to be nationalistic about.

Gotta support the locals. Unless you happen to live in Missouri, Colorado or Wisconsin.

They have Hoppin' Frog for Ohio?  Lame.  Should be Great Lakes, no question.

They definitely got Indiana right with Three Floyds and Michigan with Bells.

I thought the stuffed blue dog on the desk at the HQ in picture 3 was a nice touch.

"Tsagaan Khass" - sounds like a character from the Star Wars expanded universe.

And this picture looks like something out of Borderlands.

Gotta have something to help pass the time in between unofficial mine inspections.

To discuss German or EU politics for example. Much bigger audience for that than here. So if they ban that, it's much less interesting for me.
