Speaking of meltdowns…

It’s not just women. According to an article in Men’s Health, Wilmington, Delaware is the 6th most angry city in the United States:

Our search for evidence of urban anger began with the percentage of men with high blood pressure, from the CDC’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (as calculated by Sperling’s BestPlaces). We then factored in FBI rates of aggravated assaults and Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers on workplace deaths from assaults and other violence. And because rage and the road often go hand in hand, we also included traffic-congestion data from the Texas Transportation Institute, as well as speeding citations per state from the Governors Highway Safety Association.

Angry MickeyWell, that just makes me feel so much better about living being stuck here.

Ironically, Orlando takes the top spot on the list. I thought Disneyworld was supposed to be the Happiest Place on Earth, not the angriest! I guess the Magic Kingdom sucks all the happy out of the surrounding city. According to BBC News, Denmark is actually the happiest place on earth.

Marginally related: I love Christoph Frei’s drawing of Mickey Mouse.
