Taken from a recent Ann Landers column in the Merc:

If we could shrink the Earth's poplation to a village of precisely 100
people, with all existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look
like this: 

-  There would be 57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 8 from Africa, and 14 from the
   Western Hemisphere, including North and South America.
-  Fifty-one would be female and 49 would be male.
-  Seventy would be non-white, while 30 would be white.
-  Sixty-six would be non-Christian and 33 Christian.
-  Eighty would live in substandard housing.
-  Seventy would be unable to read.
-  Half would suffer from malnutrition.
-  One would be near death, and one would be near birth.
-  Half of the entire village's wealth would be in the hands of only six
   people...
-  ...and all six would be citizens of the United States.
