Here's an interesting website. It has many stats about the world we live in... several of them depressing. I had no idea there are twice as many bikes made than cars. Living in rural Iowa I'd say the number of cars/trucks far exceeded the number of bikes!
The "net population growth for the day" was the most depressing statistic to me. This planet has enough people. I've always been concerned about world population but since I came here it's on my mind all the time. Afghanis, Bangladeshis and Pakistanis do absolutely awful jobs here for virtually no money. Why? It's better than what they could get back home.
Having said that, as the fifth child I'm glad my parents didn't feel the way I do...
