Worldometer: The World In Numbers

Are you interested in what's going on in the world? By the numbers?  The Worldometers website give you the run down on world population (births, deaths), government and economics (expenditures, productivity), society and media, environment, food and water and list goes on and the numbers increase and decrease in real time.

It's pretty cool to see the numbers of these things spin as you watch them.
