I was doing a little geography research when I noticed a pattern unrelated to what I was researching. I'm just going to lay the numbers out without making any comments. I'll follow up with an explanatory post later. Just look at the numbers and see what you think they indicate. My source is the CIA World Factbook.

The following table represents the male/female ratio by country and age.
