This is not humor but it is something to think about …
If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100
people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, there
would be:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere (North and South America)
8 Africans
52 would be female
48 would be male
70 would be non white, 30 white
70 would be non-Christian, 30 would be Christian
89 would be heterosexual, 11 homosexual
59% of the entire world's wealth would be in the hands of only 6 people
all 6 would be citizens of 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 near birth
Only 1 would have a college education and only 1 would own a computer.
