StoneSoup Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Here's a fairly sobering series of demographic charts: http://www.washingto...th-in-9-charts/ In particular, see this one: http://s3.datawrapper.de/IYRUN/ Nigeria, currently Africa’s most populous country, is poised for one of the world’s most rapid population booms ever. In just 100 years, maybe two or three generations, the population is expected to increase by a mind-boggling factor of eight. The country is already troubled by corruption, poverty and religious conflict. It’s difficult to imagine how a government that can barely serve its population right now will respond when the demand on resources, social services, schools and roads increases by a factor of eight. Still, if they pull it off – the country’s vast oil reserves could certainly help – the rapidly growing workforce could theoretically deliver an African miracle akin to, say, China’s.

gobbledonk Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necrophilia There are 'dead roots' and there's 'totally ridiculous roots'. Not sure about 2013, but it was reportedly a serious problem with morgue attendants in Oz in decades gone by. I guess it takes all kinds ....
