Statistical factoids in real time

Website of the Day: Tuesday 19th July

>> Worldometers
Worldometers is a list of statistics that update before your eyes in real time – split into categories like population. Government and economics, education, environment and food. Figures include the total numbers of births so far this year, the total newspapers circulated this year and the total numbers of calories consumed around the globe so far this year. The effect is hypnotic and (when reading some of the figures relating to death and disease) surprisingly humbling.
