Every second counts

1.78 people die every second.
107 people die every minute.
6390 people die in an hour,
153 thousand people dying each minute,
which finally equals to 56 million people dying each year all over the world.

I DONT KNOW IF THIS IS ACCURATE BUT, WOW. I WANT TO SEE MY GRAN GRAN NOW.

Those are some rather astonishing figures. Where did you happen to find them? It would be most interesting to see the corresponding birth rates as well.

And yes, reading those numbers does give one a sudden desire to seek out one's kin, or at least some measure of human company.

I once heard that there is around one death every second...and 2 births every second.
