NUMBERS
We never cease to be amazed at some of the numbers out there in our every day world. We so often take things for granted or
are outright oblivious to the size of our world until things are brought into perspective when we hear about a number.
To that end, this website was created to shine a light on these numbers.
Please feel free to browse, edit and contribute. Please promise to be as accurate as possible.
