Really cool statistics

I get Time magazine at my dads house and it always has really little tid-bits or facts about the world. The current issue gives us a load of numbers about the average person in the US.

Item - Number sold per day

Porsche 911's - 34

iPods - 88,163

Barbie Dolls - 125,000

Trojan ultra-thin condoms - 123,287

12 oz. cans of pepsi - 50,051,507

Dell Laptops - 20,826

Twinkies - 500,000

Pregnancy Tests - 14,100

12 oz. serving of Bud Light - 35,079,448

Pampers - 300,000

20 oz. Bottle of Aquifina Water - 8,179,726

Burger King Whoppers - 2,400,000

Domino's Pepperoni pizzas - 536,000

Federal Express packages shipped - 6,000,000

Hot Wheels Mini cars - 150,000

lbs. of starbucks - 153,424

Axe Phoenix body spray - 28,876

Very cool stats, and I would never imagine that the number of condoms is only 1.5 times more than iPods. Very cool though.

I just got this awesome new 2.1 speaker system for my computer/iPod and the subwoofer is awesome. The tweeters are smaller than I would have hoped but they still pack a huge punch. I think I got the bang for my buck. Literally.

Well, I still am kinda obsessed with 64digits and come back here like every five minutes when I have nothing to do. But I'm working on that :)

Heh, living in Vermont, I get the full experience of cows. I'm a city person but I've milked cows before when I was younger. It's pretty fun, but when your older, you realize what you are ACTUALLY doing and it kinda makes it really akward.
