Web-Based Clock, Plus Depressing Stats
If you're a glutton for punishment, then we have the timepiece for you. The World Clock from Poodwaddle.com is a browser based timekeeper that shows the time while also presenting you with a pile of often depressing statistics. Watch our planet's population climb uncontrollably, witness the number of families destroyed by divorce skyrocket and behold the Earth's temperature on the rise.
The World Clock even breaks down deaths by cause so you can see exactly how many people die each minute from AIDS, cancer and war while you sit in your cubicle wasting time. So go check it out. Just try not to get too depressed.

How about showing the number of ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN (without wedded parents) born in any given period??
Doris @ Jul 8th 2007 9:17PM
How about adding the numbers of illegal aliens coming into the US daily? Do they identify the numbers of deaths caused by illegal aliens? It is estimated that over 3000 people die each year are caused by illegal aliens.
Serena @ Jul 8th 2007 9:25PM
If you click on the image it does show the number of illegal immigrants.

Is there a reason the media is so focused on death and destruction?

Hey Donald.... they'll show that as soon as it shows the number of incompentant boobs posting comments like yours. Does it really matter if the parents were wed when the child was born?? Nope. And we would have been wed, had his father not been killed serving the country YOU live in.
bfaithluvr @ Jul 8th 2007 10:04PM
what about children deserted by their parents teens kicked out of their homes anmd children killed by their parents?
ron @ Jul 8th 2007 10:21PM
neat
enna @ Jul 8th 2007 10:30PM
yeah donald...like Jewily said, what the heck diff does it make if parents aren't married? Me & my hubby didn't marry 'cause we didn't wanna rush into everything too fast...but still it dont matter, 19 married this yr-22yrs together this yr...another 9months of having a paper that says "you are married" wouldnt have made a friggen' diff...and 9months less of the marriage tax. Married or not, parents are still "mommy & daddy" to the kids!
Ya boob!!

Pull your head out of your ass Doris. How many people does your type of ignorance kill each year!?
Kayla @ Jul 8th 2007 11:03PM
The title of the article was "depressing stats". It is horrible! All of those things happening to fellow human beings and all you can think about is adding EVEN MORE depressing statistics? It's depressing enough, without you all complaining about it not making you cry when you glance at it! Where is this world going?
StephanieKnows @ Jul 8th 2007 11:10PM
ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN?, Donald?
They ARE still children, you are obviously a moron who lives in the past and criticizes people because you are unhappy with the way the world is going, but at the same time, making no effort to better anything.
Elizabeth @ Jul 8th 2007 11:14PM
Amazing! It shows us the bigger picture of what is really happening around the real world.
alessandra @ Jul 8th 2007 11:40PM
shut up Doris
give it a rest
i'm not an illegal alien but will you leave them alone! do you have a life, because to me it doesn't seems like it since you can't stop blaming illegal aliens while your commenting on a world clock!what a loser! its negative people like you who bring all of us down.
p.s. you and your ancestors were once immigrants too so stop acting like you own the united states just because you came here first or for some reason feel more valuable then them!
James @ Jul 8th 2007 11:44PM
How about adding the number of deaths directly attributed to the Bush/Cheney Regime!

The world is going to hell in a handbasket and someone is capitalizing off its demise by selling this depressing piece of shit. If we would all stop buying into these high-tech capitalist everytime they come up with a new gadget, maybe we they will stop making these useless machines. CNN will give you the same depressing news everyday and its on your cable tv.
As for you Donald...my mother raised 2 kids with no help from our pathetic excuse for a father and was never married. She struggled everyday but she did a great job and raised 2 open-minded kids who learned to stand up for themselves and for those who can't. Instead of bashing parents based on your own beliefs, have a talk with an unwed mother or father and get their story first and them maybe you'll understand why they didn't want a band of gold. A piece of paper doesn't make you a family...love and understanding does.

How about the number of Euro-trash idiots now living in the US that balme everything on the new emigrants. And while we are at it the negative IQ of those idiots.
Alicia @ Jul 9th 2007 12:19AM
I think what Donald was trying to say is for all the "illegitimate" children that were born to stupid people that don't give a crap who they sleep with, who they impregnate or get pregnant by, and who keep on poppin out babies by different men when they don't even take care of their first ones. I think that's the kind of illegitimate children Don was talking about. And BTW, I'm not racist or sexist or homophobic, but I don't think it's right for anyone to be living in the US or any country illegally either. More power to them if they're here legitimately, but I have to agree with the illegal aliens comment. So all you snarky people out there need to get your head out of your butt because the world does not revolve around you, like it or not.
Chico @ Jul 9th 2007 12:19AM
Hey Linda I just had an illegal pickedup and I am one tomatoe picker short here in souther Cal. I bet $1000.00 that you will say no because you are thinking you are to good for that job. Illegals taking your job what an Idiot.
