I don't know if you all have seen this already, but there's a fantastic statistician called Prof Rosling, who organises development statistics in a very interesting way. His research shows that we can't think about the "developing" and "developed" world by looking at countries alone.
There is a YouTube video of one of his lectures (where he shows that students in one elite university get lower marks than chimps in a quiz on development) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=RUwS1uAdUcI
There's lots more on his Gapminder project website, including some very cool interactive graphs.

Rachel this is Hillarious! Thanks for posting it. But it is very interesting how he really shows how our pre-conceived ideas of the world shape a lot of how we see in it. Please post more interesting stuff like this.
I really enjoyed that. I wish he lectured here with his snazzy powerpoints.
