My friends will tell you that I love acronyms; I make them nuts. But even more then acronyms, I love statistics. There’s so many different ways to interpret them, like a big yummy puzzle. So here come the stats.
The number of humans existing on the planet is approximately 6,792,470,645. (As of about an hour ago, when I check the World POPClock.) Did you know that the natural ratio at birth is 105 males for 100 females? But males have a higher death rate so basically it all evens out. Getting to my point...and I’ll get there eventually.
I was researching stats on the WEF website and I happened to find a very interesting video from the 2009 Annual World Economic Forum. The video is really nice, happy people, lovely music and projects this feeling of world peace and love for all humans. Yeah, right. You gotta take 10 minutes to watch this video and I’m gonna go barf. Hopefully at some point, while you’re watching the video, you’ll figure what’s missing.
