If Earth's population was shrunk into a village of just 100 people- with all the human ratios existing in the world still remaining-what would this tiny, diverse village look like? That's exactly what Phillip M. Harter, a medical doctor at the Stanford University School of Medicine, attempted to figure out. This is what he found.
57 would be Asian.
21 would be European.
14 would be from the Western Hemisphere.
8 would be African.
52 would be female.
48 would be male.
70 would be nonwhite.
30 would be white.
70 would be non-Christian.
30 would be Christian.
89 would be heterosexual.
11 would be homosexual.
6 people would possess 59 percent of the entire world's wealth.
All 6 would be from the United States.
80 would live in substandard housing.
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition.
1 would be near death.
1 would be pregnant.
1 would have a college education.
1 would own a computer.
Where do you fit in? Peace Peeps. :)

Yea I agree the bottom 4 are low but if 100,000,000 owned a computer. Would that even be 1 compared to 6,000,000,000 in the world, and I might be wrong on this just last figure I heard. :)

Black, African, Heterosexual (despite all the accusations of being a gay liberal), poor, non-christian, and as I can read I'll be teaching the Asians to keep down the procreation.
Excellent fun statistics

Hmm...
The last 4 seem suspicious, the rest seem right.
