In 2005 the GRG released a chart showing how many people reached a certain age:

Age: Number of People:
123 0
122 1
121 1
120 2
119 3
118 3
117 5
116 8
115 17
114 53
113 114
112 200+
111 400+
110 800+

Out of 6.5 billion people who have lived on earth, nobody has been confirmed to living to 123.

Best of luck to you.

According to the Marin County Coroner:

- More than 85 percent of people who jump from the bridge are Bay Area residents.
- Northern California residents account for more than 92% of the suicide jumps.
- Average jumper’s age: 42. (Youngest: 14-year-old girl; oldest: 84-year-old man)
- Men outnumber women almost 3 to 1.
- Caucasians account for 83 percent of all fatalities.
- San Francisco and Marin counties had the highest number of deaths, followed by Santa Clara and Contra Costa counties.

More than 1,250 people have jumped off the bridge. This is only the number of confirmed jumps or bodies being found. Due to foggy conditions and a strong current, it is entirely possible to leap off the bridge witout a trace.

For the last 10 years, it has been running on average about 24 fatalities a year. The jump is fatal 98 percent of the time.

One last interesting note, nearly every person to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge has done so from the bay side, not the ocean side. The ocean side is considered too cold and impersonal.

Thats 1.46 billion peeps a year.

There is only 32 calories per peep.

Now if I can figure out what causes some reindeer to fly on Christmas Eve, a great mystery of the Western World will be solved.

At 2048 x 1500 pixels, I can fit 2400 photos on the flash card, or 178 photos a day.

At 1024 x 768 pixels, I can fit 4800 photos on the flash card or 342 photos a day.

Now if I can just figure out how to increase the vacation days.

The inventor of both the cash machine and the PIN number was John Shepherd-Barron who came up with the idea in the bathtub.

There are now more than 1.6 million cash machines worldwide and they can be found on every continent, including Antarctica.

He came across the idea of using a Personal Identification Number that would be known by the owner of the account, but not known by anyone else. All he had to do was determine how many digits would be used for the number. He realized he could remember his six digit number assigned to him in the British Army and felt that a six digit number would be secure enough to use for the cash machine. However, his wife had problems remembering numbers with more than four digits. So he decided that with 10,000 possible number combinations that four digits would do the job.

That decision is why today more than 40 years later the four digit PIN is a standard around the world.

This is inaccurrate. It's a cover name chosen by people who manage the engineers at Mozilla. The real code name chosen by engineers is "*~".

It's not a tribute to Prince, but like Prince, the engineers chose a glyph to represent the true name of the code. It is pronounced, "butt monkey". If you look at the glyph, the first symbol is a * which represents a butt. The ~ represents a symbol for a tail.

Now for the truly geeky, you may know that the JavaScript engine for Firefox, or rather *~ is known as "Spider Monkey". It's a reference to the movie, "Beavis & Butthead Do America". In the movie, the protagonist, who was the character Hank Hill from "King of the Hill" was based on, complains about finding Beavis & Butthead in his barn, "whacking off like a couple of spider monkeys."

Now you know.

Cars & trucks have certainley become more complex over the years, but it is interesting that Ford's Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) has dropped from 23 mpg to 21 mpg.

Even though Malaria kills about 5% of the people who are infected, Syphilis kills 100%. With these kinds of odds, Malaria was an acceptable risk compared to slowly going mad and dying from the Great Pox. After all, once Malaria has been contracted, it can be controlled with the use of quinine.

This discovery was championed by Julius Wagner-Jauregg, who won the 1927 Nobel Prize for Medicine for his work in this area.

Once penicillin was discovered as an effective treatment and became widely available after World War II, this treatment was considered obsolete and was no longer used.

Formed 1.5 million years ago by a now-extinct volcano, this circular cluster of peaks rises dramatically from the otherwise flat surrounding farmland. The highest peak, South Butte, reaches 2,117 feet (645 m) above sea level.

The largest mountain range is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which runs mostly underwater from just south of the North Pole to just North of Antartica, through the Atlantic Ocean. It length is thought to be around 7,000 miles long.

From 1975-1995 there were only four states that did not have any earthquakes. They were: Florida, Iowa, North Dakota, and Wisconsin.
