Counting down

Peter Russell was "Eco-Philosopher Extraordinaire" of the year in 1993. And this is his World Clock. Already today there are 48 species extinct, 192,578 bicycles produced and 236,988 babies born. The clock on the left is not his World Clock, it's Prague's. It was built somewhere around 1490.

So, I find the collection of things counted interesting... some more than others, but the selection makes me curious about the compiler more than the statistics.
