I thought this was interesting. 
I know it is not Humor, so I couldn't put it there.
Maybe we should have an OT list?

      If we could shrink the earth's population to a
      village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing
      human ratios remaining the same, it would look
      something like the following.
     
         
      There would be:
     
         

      57 Asians
     
         
      21 Europeans

      14 from the Western Hemisphere,
      both north and south


      8 would be Africans

     
         
      52 would be female
      48 would be male
       
         
      30 would be white
      70 would be non-white

      70 would be non-Christian
      30 would be Christian


      89 would be heterosexual
      11 would be homosexual

     
         

      6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth
      and all 6 would be from the USA.
     
         
      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

     
         
        1 (yes, only 1) would have
      a college education
     
         
      1 (yes, only1) would own computer.
     
        
         
      When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective,
      we realize the need for acceptance, understanding and education.
     
         
      And, therefore...
     
      If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof
      overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world.

      If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you
      are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.


      If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in
      a dish someplace, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.


      If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment,
      arrest, torture, or death, you are more blessed than
      three billion people in the world.


      If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of
      imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation,
      you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.


      If you can read this message you are more blessed than the over
      two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

     
         
      As you read this and are reminded how life
      is in the rest of the world, remember
      just how blessed you really are!
