    Where do they get their stats from? How do you measure illegal drug sales...

    I could be wrong though. Well, actually, I am never wrong, I could have misstyped.:-D

    we put men on the moon, fly at 3 times the speed of sound, move data at incredible speeds but at 10.48 this morning there were 1,411,867,725 with no access to safe drinking water and that falls from the sky for free, incredible!!!

    Hmm....kind of depends on where you are as to whether the water that falls from the sky is safe and free.

    Well, I suppose its always free, but I'd wager acid rain has one hell of a kick ;)

    yes but its a self perpetuating natural resource that only needs filtration to make it safe and you could sate the thirst of 1.5B(as the count was this morning) people for the price of a space shuttle or stealth bomber.
    oh and were i live in the south of England if you disconnect your water and only use rainfall they will still charge you as water utilities maintain its evaporated from there reservoirs!!
    just playing devils advocate but shouldn't everybody be entitled to a supply of fresh water?

    about the one that lists how many miles earth has traveled in space this year....

    i think its pretty amazing that we are currently moving at around 67,000 mph...

    and on top of that spinning at 1000 mph...

    and finally the galaxy we are in spins at like 40,000 or so mph.
