I've just watched that for a couple of minutes and had to override a compulsion to sit there just watching the various numbers rise. Quite cool, but weird at the same time. Especially if you sit there watching the death numbers rise and the particulars. For a bit I started imagining people dying in those ways.

See what you mean. It's so hard to stop watching the numbers just go up and up.

It's not entirely accurate though is it? I mean surely for all stuff created there is stuff absorbed/disolved in othe statistics no? I know a lot of it is a projection and using figures from the past - but surely it can't be as alarming as it looks? Scary **** if it is relatively accurate!

Most interesting!

Is it just me or does the cars produced number seem waaaaay too slow?

[goldilocks]

maybe it just seems shocking to me because of my viewpoint on the matter - but the number of abortions seems extraordinarily high.
just think how much faster the total population would be growing if all of these women decided to keep their babies :eek:

I feel so insignificant!
