Worldclock, who thought statistics were cool

Every so often you come across something on the 'Net that makes you go 'hmm, that’s cool.'

Worldclock, a web page making the rounds via e-mail, is that something.

The site is a flash object that uses statistical information to show the changes in our world. Want to know how many bikes are produced in a day, watch the rate climb. Curious about the state of the tropical rainforest? Watch it decline.

The page also gives you options to watch the numbers in various ways, by far the coolest has to be the now button. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
