How do they work it out? There must be so many unregistered births and deaths.

Were you never told not ask obvious, but awkward, questions?

Idon't think that counter works, cos it has'nt moved since i last looked, over two hours ago!!

Because Mr Blair said so.

They say a woman somewhere in the world has a baby every 45 seconds.

Well she obviously has a two hour tea break..........

This counter is actually at Eureka! in Halifax, and they reckon that 3 babies are born in the world every second!

However, they must be making allowances for deaths too, because that is a population counter, not a birth counter.

I'm surprised that the world population isn't falling....after all, Bush & Blair are still in power!...
