wrong cos you can't have anal conception, and if they're queuing to walk past you, it's likely they'd all be facing forwards.

Asia and the Global Village
If we shrink the earth's population down to a village of one hundred people but keep all existing human ratios the same, there would be:

57 Asians; 21 Europeans; 14 Western Hemisphere (North and South America); 8 Africans

Other characteristics of the "Global Village"

70 of the 100 people would be non-white; 70 would be unable to read; 50 would suffer from malnutrition; 80 would live in substandard housing; 70 would be non-Christian; 1 would have a university education

True, that has never been proven.

Mindblowing, considering that atoms vibrate many billions of times a second...

Imagine earth is a perfect sphere. Now there is a rope tied tightly around its circumfence. If you were to add 1 metre to the length of the rope then uniformally lift it off the surface how far from the surface would it now be?
