6x Population of New Zealand = Number of People Currently Slaves

Someone linked me to an interesting interview with a Benjamin Skinner, who has researched slavery for the past 4 years and concluded there are more slaves today than at any other time in human history.

About 27 million people.

Scary.

Chain emails annoy me, generally.

(Haha, I hope this makes sense - try an anagram dictionary if you get lost :) )

Although they can't stomach writing out the remixing band's name, Spinner do allow you to download the MP3 for free.

I don't know if I should find this picture amusing, but the rat looks kind of embarrassed more than anything.

Sticky.
