World Clock

[plonq]

A couple of days ago one of my co-workers sent me a link for the World Clock. While it is fascinating to watch the little meters count over for births, deaths and disease, I can't help thinking that the site would look much better if all of the statistics were presented on steam-punkesque dials.

Also does it make me a bad person that I get the song "Another One Bites The Dust" stuck in my head every time I stare at the death counter for too long?

When I saw the subject line, my mind thought about the atomic clock for some reason.

Anyway, thanks for the cool (yet dark) link. It is disturbingly interesting.

Oh, and this link reminds me of a quote by Joseph Stalin:

"The death of one man is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic"
