Title: Statistics of the world
Post by: Seed_Of_Evil on August 19, 2002, 11:28:46 AM: If we could reduce total Earth\'s population into a settle of 100 inhabitants, keeping obviously statistics, there would be:

57 asians
21 europeans
14 americans
8 africans

52 would be females
48 would be males

70 would be not Christians
30 would be Christians

70 would be not-white
30 would be white

6 persons would have 59% of Earth\'s wealth, and they (6 persons) would be from USA.

80 would live in shanties
70 wouldn\'t be able to read
50 of them would be hungry
1 of them would have University Studies
1 of them would have a Personal Computer

Interesting? Source: a curiosities book i have.

50 of them would be hungry

Why would that be? If there were only 100 people why would they have trouble finding food?

I was just acting stupid. I\'m not really stupid.

I can sure easily fool people, though.

So, what\'s that? A girl and an extra breast? I\'d be a greedy bastard and take 10, as long as they were not rossie\'s.
