coffee anyone?

You may recognize this large gate as being the "Brandenberg Gate" in Berlin. What you might not recognize are the 77,244 red, green and white coffee mugs placed very neatly in front of it.
According to a recent study, the average German drinks 11,856.6 litres of coffee in his lifetime. And he would fill his coffee cup 77,244 times. Thus the mugs. There will be a documentary on German TV next week called "The Human Footprint" and this was part of the advertising for it. Quite the idea!
