In the Human Development Index (HDI), the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Statistical Update 2008 ranks India at 132 out of the 179 countries. At 116 out of the 157, India also ranks poorly in the Gender Development Index. While India falls under the “Medium Human Development” category, all the developed countries are bracketed under the “High Human Development” category. HDI is based on purchasing power parity, life expectancy at birth, and education levels. They are third world
you got me there, i think 3rd world i think somalia.

No thanks on this small tin can in the American driving environment.

Last night I saw a ML500 rear-end a Saturn Vue at a high rate of speed on a city street. The driver of the Saturn Vue was dead. The ML driver had major non-life threatening injuries. Accident is under investigation.

Maybe Tiger Woods will buy one with the money he has left after his wife gets done with him.
