Cool World Clock Widget

The geeks at poodwaddle have a multi-faced clock that ticks the meter on more measures than you really want: population, death, illness, environment, energy, crime, food, the U.S. debt, auto and bicycle production and more.

It could use a ticker for clean water, given that the global oil wars will soon give way to global water wars, but what's there is fascinating. Even more mesmerizing than the numerical totals is the speed at which the numbers increase or decrease.
