and never forget: You own clock is runing as well.
The life isn't runing in a year,month or week cycle - its linear.
So you just have one. (IMO)

on abortions..., perhaps the writer of the 'world clock' has political views on the matter...

Probably not. My boss found this a few months ago and showed it to me and made the same comment about how it obviously had an agenda and must have been made by the Christian right. Personally, I'm pretty liberal in my stance, but I had to call him out on how inane that comment was. I told him (and it's amazing I didn't get fired), "You must be right. I mean, we all know that the Christian right also hates oil and cars. Yep, they're showing how many evil commuter vehicles have been produced."

Just because the stastic is about a controversial subject doesn't mean presenting it has a "slant."
