Here’s an interesting piece of worthless information. The life span for both men and women living in Sierra Leone is only 45 years.

It’s the lowest in the world. The reason? Wars and lack of access to health care.

In the U.S. the average life span for a man is 79. There are 31 countries with longer expectancies for longevity. So, in this we’re not at all the best.

Your best bet would have been to be born in either Hong Kong or Switzerland, where men live on average 83 years.
