Populations Clocks

Posted on by

Just in case you were wondering how many people your competing against for that next great job, boyfriend/girlfriend, or just exactly how many Jone’s there are to keep up with… Here is a fun little Population Clock maintained by the government. One surprising thing on this site is that the U.S. is actually the 3rd biggest country (population wise) in the world… I mean everyone knows China’s #1 and you may have heard India’s big as well but U.S. #3 – Top 10 sure, but #3…

If you’re a fan of Thomas Robert Malthus, I would warn against hitting the refresh button on this page… Otherwise, enjoy watching the population swell.

Where Is The Time?

I’ve been asked when I have the time to think about all the stuff that I put on this site. Which is funny ’cause I haven’t even had a chance to put forth my views on Capitalism and economic reform, how we should deal with the existence of a Higher Power, or how to end hunger in the United States…

I guess the short answer is when don’t I have time?… A cryptic but accurate response that i will attempt expound upon. WARNING: This will probably get long-winded so don’t say i didn’t warn you.

A few of you out there should really enjoy this latest exhibit. Finally a chance to take a break and not have to clean/organize/fix everything! (and don’t get me started on Modern Art…) ;)

This 40 foot, 30 ton, fire breathing robot was created to WOW crowds at various shows in the US. It is pictured here at a Military / Civil air show… which got me thinking. Sure, this was built as a huge toy for the American people’s amusement BUT what about it’s potential militarily? OK, tanks and attack helicopters are highly effective combat vehicles, but the enemy has trained for such and will be dug in to resist them. Now imagine showing up with your tanks, helicopters, troops, and your 40 FOOT FIRE BREATHING DINOSAUR!! That thing starts ripping cars in half somewhere near the real fighting and that has GOT to increase the desertion rate of your opposing troops.
