SilentK · Jun 29, 2008

Here is a pretty cool clock that gives you an idea of what is going on in this world of ours.

Very cool. Kinda weird to see the number of people dying and being born every minute.

Hey that's pretty neat. It's easy to forget how big the world really is and how much happens every second.

Jeepers, if only my Internet connection pumped data bits as fast as some of those tickers. Scary. Very scary.

Thanks for the link.

How the heck was global warming calculated? It's compare to what?

Looks like to me it has no basis but rather just randomly increase the displayed number, since it's just a flash animation and no data is transmitted after it's loaded.

I prefer a much simpler approach with no interpretations.

This would be a category I could relate too:

"Current number of people using a toilet just as their cell phone starts ringing."

I was purposely watching the disease section. It said "Living with said disease" I watched very carefully for a minute one of the slower moving numbers. It always went up. Huh? The disease never killed anybody? It should go down and up and down and up . . . Possibly more one way than the other, depending on several factors. That alone made me believe it was another propaganda site.

EDIT: I was watching cancer under Illness and Injury Incidence.
