Random Tuesday items:
World population is now approaching 7 billion. When I was a kid, I remember that it was approaching 4 billion, and people were panicking then. We’re gonna run out of food! There won’t be enough water to drink!
Now, you can use a handy real-time counter to figure out how fast we’ll get there. Just click on the official Worldometer. As I write, we’ve had a net global population increase of 76,596 people today!
Riding your bike among all these people is going to be tricky. Make sure you wear a helmet! But not just any helmet. Make it a classy, fashionable, Danish helmet designed to look like a hat, from Yakkay.
Also, please enjoy this wonderful video of an interviewer asking people on the street a simple question that causes them to rethink their position on homosexuality forever. Brilliant in its simplicity and perfect in execution. Enjoy!

A fine Tuesday to you all!
I got excited to get one of those stylish bicycle helmets, but they’re not available in the US. Time to make a trip to Europe, I guess.
Wow! Seven billion — think of all the extra people choosing to be gay out there. Maybe the fashionable helmets has something to do with it…
Suddenly I have the Bad Religion song “10 in 2010” in my head. It’s 2010 now! Where are the “ten billion people, all suffering”?
Brilliant indeed…i love how they all go through the same thought process.
And brilliant Danes! I cannot bear to wear a regular bike helmet (full disclosure: no bike currently) but would consider something in that range.
It’s several days later and I am still thinking about this video and how inspirational it is. LOVE IT!!
