The Miniature Earth Project
If we could turn the population of the earth into a small community of 100 people, keeping the same proportions we have today, it would look something like this ...
1) 47 live in an urban area;
2) 61 Asians, 12 Europeans, 16 Africans;
3) 9 are disabled;

5) 6 people own 59% of entire wealth of the community;

Yay! Another Numeric Obsessive! I can't find any others in my town..
I am:
- 85% sane, and need the remaining 15% to stay crazed
- within .33333 years of being one 3rd of a century old
- prevented from joining Mensa only by the distance from Tacoma to Seattle, and a deficit of approximately four hours
I see mathematics in everything.
keep it up.

I'm surprised this got by you.

Hmmmm... Dick, I think you have to take into account this is a sampling of ALL of the people on the PLANET. So, in that regard, it makes sense... although the dollar values (not the percentages) seem to be a little off, eh?
