That one has been around for enough years that it needs some serious updating.  
I used to use for talks/presentations maybe 7 or 8 years ago.  Anyone seem more 
current figures?

How many would have blue eyes? Strange question perhaps but I read somewhere 
not long ago that everyone on earth
who has blue eyes is related. It is apparently all from one oddball gene at one 
point in time.

Hi all,

The final statement of the Snopes writeup perhaps is most  
interesting.

"On the other hand, if this is the kind of material having a computer  
gives one access to, the inhabitants of our miniature world might opt  
to do without them."

Now back to your regularly scheduled program...

Take care and treat your neighbor as yourself..

Claim:   If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely
100 people, that village would resemble one described in this piece.

Status:   Not quite

Read the details if interested.
