A new look at time.

Hopefully, this hasn't been posted before but I just got turned on to this site via email today.

I found it an intriguing view of what happens each minute of each day. Especially interesting is the "now" view.

If you haven't seen it before, enjoy!

Wow.

All I can say is (and I hate to, but I have to) .... more people need to start dying.

Thank god for all those abortions!

All you pompous Christians out there ... watch the "Now" view, keep an eye on births, deaths and abortions ... and then think how fast you'd be sharing your house with 17 other people if women weren't in control of their reproductive choices.

ETA: Ok, had to turn it off. The population growth is freak-me-out ALARMING! I won't be able to go to school today or tie my shoes if I keep watching that!

Don't worry too much....most experts agree that World Population will peak sometime between 2050 - 2070....then start to decline.

Even right now things are not all that crowded:

Everyone on Earth could fit into LA County quite comfortably right now believe it or not

LA County has 4700 square miles divided by 6.6 Billion equals .000000712 of a sq mile.
.000000712 equals roughly 2.2 square yards...about the size of a Lazy Boy Recliner in reclined position.

In other words.....Every Man, Woman, and Child on Earth would have enough room to squeze into LA County and spend the night in a Lazy Boy.........don't ask me where they'd go to the bathroom though

Riverside County. It's already one big toilet.

I would guess you probably want to pick a place that isn't uphill from LA County.

All I could think about with the abortions figure was: how many of those were solely because the fetus was female?

Cadaverous Pallor · 07-25-2007, 09:38 AM

Funny, it took me a while to stop looking at the deaths counter and notice the births. All I could think of was grieving families, ends of lives long lived, tragic young deaths...

I know there are plenty of births to make up for it.

Yes, we do love pointing that out. But I have never seen it before. Thanks.

I agree with Innerspaceman -- more people must die!

(Just not me.)

For some reason this reminds me of Amelie, where she counts how many people are having orgasms in Paris at that moment.

Why don't they count orgasms? Why mostly crappy stuff?
