This is kinda cool.


I wouldn't like to comment on it's accuracy, but shows a map of the earth and each country flashed to show the frequency of births and deaths based on statistical stuff.  I watched it for many seconds and said 'ooh'.

That is a nice find - well done!


I liked the fact that the population of the UK and the US is falling - scary!

Well - firstly I would freeze more quickly than if we froze you because of your additional 'mass' - secondly I would probably be thawed out in the future where i would be even more dumb in relation to the populous - now populous that was a good game!
