FREAKY DEAKY FRIDAY - #F6

Just some lighthearted stuff before Munchkin’s wild rant on Saturday:

Something to think about:

If you were able to shrink the population of the entire earth down to the size of a single village with a population of exactly 100 people, keeping all existing human ratios the same, here is what you will end up with:

You would have 57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south. 14 would be Africans.

52 would be female, 48 would be male, 30 would be white and 70 would be non-white. 70 would be non-Christian while 30 would be Christian.

89 would be heterosexual and 11 would be homosexual. 6 people would possess 59% of the entire world’s wealth and all 6 would be from the United States. 80 would live in substandard housing.

70 would be unable to read, while 50 would be suffering from malnutrition. 1 would be near death and 1 would be near birth.

Only 1 would have a college education and only 1 would own a computer.

So, what does it all mean?

If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world. If you woke up with more health than illness this morning, you are more blessed than the million who will not survive the week.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace in your home, you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy. If you can attend a church service 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 war, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are way ahead of 500 million people in the world. If you are able to read this posting, you are more blessed than two billion people in the world who are unable to read.

Are Men and Dogs Alike?

Let’s see, both take up too much space on the bed and couch. Both have an irrational fear about vacuum cleaning. Both feel threatened by their own kind and both mark their territory.

Both are bad at asking you questions. Neither tells you what is bothering them. Both have a tendency to smell riper with age. The smaller ones tend to be more nervous. Both fart shamelessly.

Neither dogs nor men notice when you get a haircut. Both like dominance games and both are suspicious of the mailman and neither understands what you see in cats.
