Laura & CTB Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 It's making my head spin - especially after pressing the "now" button Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairy&cake Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 what a interesting site. SHame they dont have UK immigrants on there isn't it? Wouldnt make any difference though, because those who have he ability to change the amount of people coming into this country aren't bothered anyway. Would probably just make us more mad.

bronze Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 The bit I find scary is the population growth. The births compared to deaths. oh and the rate the abortions goes up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 ah, yes, I had this on email a few weeks ago. It's interesting isn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I'm really puzzled as to how they can keep this up to date. Is it done statistically? It can't be real time, when you think of all the murder and mayhem going on all over the world. Or am I being unbelievably stupid Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 I wondered that too Tessa and I think that it is all done based on the latest stats - some clever geek has analysed the numbers and come up with a per minute/second figure for each stat.... well that's my guess anyway.

The Dogmother Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 If you look, there's a bit on the right, just under the clock about how it uses the stats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Yep, I'm sure you are right Clare. Still fascinating though. Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 I find it slightly depressing, like watching peoples' lives trickle away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
