If the world had only 100 people
57 would be Asian.
21 would be European.
14 would be from the Western Hemisphere.
8 would be African.
52 would be female.
48 would be male.
70 would be nonwhite.
30 would be white.
70 would be non-Christian.
30 would be Christian.
89 would be heterosexual.
11 would be homosexual.
6 people would possess 59 percent of the entire world's wealth, and all
6 would be from the United States.
80 would live in substandard housing.
70 would be unable to read.
50 would suffer from malnutrition.
1 would be near death.
1 would be pregnant.
1 would have a college education.
1 would own a computer
This maybe a bit unfair on the US as Rupert Murdoch maybe one of the six and he became a US citizen for money reasons. Perhaps others have as well.

Hey Tony,
I reckon that's an old one. Nowadays, they would all have computers :-).

I would have thought that the rate of people with computers would be higher than that. Interesting.

Does one need a point on the www Grafitti? Perhaps as you point out the statistics revealing global differences, I have made a unifying statement about 100 people on earth. That is, something they all have in common albeit in my dry manner.
thanks for the trivial stats though

100 people marching along
100 people singing a song
100 people brave boys and girls
100 people... ohh! I've forgotten the words.
I added them all up and it adds up to 716. So that means that the whole 100 are multitasking? Just like the bear and the girl in your picture suggests - were you waiting for some one to add them up? Well yeah - i probably wasn't the only one! Probably...
