You Have To See This!

I just came across this great site. You could spend a lot of time trying to find this information elsewhere.

Worldometers - real time world statistics

Have Fun,
Jeff

Truth-Teller is an unknown quantity at this point
This is way too scary, man.

I can literally see the earth decomposing.

The numbers from "death by abortions" is unflagging.

Thoth is an unknown quantity at this point
some of those numbers seem exaggerated.
(esp. the births for the year so far)

There is positively no accurate way to tabulate this information on a real time basis. It has to be averaged and projected. I seriously doubt the accuracy, but concede the trends and directions are probably in line. I would hesitate to use the numbers.

This is on the bottom of their page:

Worldometers General Notes:
Uses your computer's clock, so if you are curious to learn the number of HIV-infected in 2050 then just change your system time to 2050. It will calculate values based on current interesting statistics and demographics data. Do not use for exact calculations.


You could never get accurate numbers for much of this data as many countries don't record information like births and deaths. But I wouldn't hesitate to use these numbers as estimates. You just need to preface the numbers with the magic word "about."


Have Fun,
Jeff
