Death Clock...Watch and Be Amazed

This is a fascinating clock, if you're sick like me. I like to click on "Death" (on the left side of the clock), and just sit there and watch all the people that are dying and see things from the perspective of the grim reaper. I like to imagine where all these bodies go, and I like to wonder if anyone cared about these people...or what they were doing right before they died. Maybe they were watching "Penn and Teller Bullshit" or "Curb Your Enthusiasm" on TV...or maybe they were eating a hot bowl of clam chowder with sprinkles of cheese on top. Try resetting the clock to "Day" or "Now" and watch the deaths pile up. It puts my job, as a Crusty Ambulance Driver, into perspective. It also makes me wonder if the "death clock" would be the least bit affected if there was no publicly funded EMS system or Crusty Ambulance Driver.

It also puts major tragedies into perspective. For example, consider the collapse of the World Trade Center, in which 3,000 people lost their lives. Then compare that to how many people die of DIARRHEA each day (or in traffic accidents). Compare our war against diarrhea to our war against terrorism.

Then, when you're done indulging in your sick fascination with death, and you're completely numb to the death of ANYONE, click on "More" and watch our national debt increase as we fund the publicly funded EMS system and our war on terror.
