My brother Bernell forwarded me the URL of a World Clock that is really interesting. Although it appears to indicate the actual world population, deaths, births, etc. it really uses the established rates for each of the listed demographics and multiplies those rates by the time elapsed.
I am amazed at how many indicators are tracked by this clock. In addition to population counts, there are numbers indicating new cars, new bicycles, even the number of species that have gone extinct within the chosen time period. You can select the year to date, month to day, week to date, current day, and even from the time you press the NOW button.
I haven't tracked them all down, but the World Clock site seems to have lots of other interesting things to offer as well. Could be fun to check out.
