So it is a friday, and my class was done with their work a little early, and so they wanted to know if they could play games. Of course, I said, "No". But they could surf the net and look for interesting things to read.
Andy found this one: http://www.worldometers.info/ . It shows how numbers are increasing for things like world population, cellphones sold, gas to the end of gas, death by cancer, number of cigarettes smoked. It's mesmorizing!
What is your favorite statistic? What other quantity would you like to see monitored?

I think it is amazing that more cigarettes are being smoked each day than there are number of people in the world!

Well a lot of people smoke a few packs a day so it doesn't really surprise me.
It is amazing how many people are born each year.
this site i actually learned about in biology last year and i thought it was an interesting site and im surprised on how much we spend on illegal drugs each year. Also the US seems pretty unhealthy.
