Watch the World Die

Sort of, anyway. Check out the Worldclock, which my friend Becky pointed me to. It’s a compilation of statistics and you can watch how quickly people die versus how quickly new people are born, and you can see how many people die a variety of deaths, sustain a variety of injuries, and how quickly we’re generally screwing up the planet over time. Click the Now button for a fresh start and watch us scream toward oblivion.

Okay, so it’s not quite that bad. But it does put things in perspective and it’s a neat tool.
