I'll tell you something else that's quite interesting: there are more plastic flamingos in the world than there are real flamingos.

Sorry to tell you this Jamie, but despite the best efforts of the Aztecs to kill off all flamingos, according to each of my recent counts, on April 9, March 21, March 6 and February 2 the number of real flamingos exceeded the number of plastic flamingos by between 3 (9 April) and 7 (21 March). However, given the frequency with which these figures change, its quite possible that by tomorrow, the number of plastic flamingos will once again prevail. Interestingly, the situation with plastic turtles is the complete opposite of the plastic flamingos, but that's a story for another post.

How about the number of garden gnomes to real gnomes? Anybody did research on that?

[askandanswer]

Still ongoing. The problem is that the real gnomes are very good at posing as garden gnomes, so its often difficult to tell them apart.

And it's expensive to conduct research in Zurich.

All the garden gnomes are real.  That is why the numbers get confused, most people don't realize they are all real.
