Odd Happenings In Jackalspace

So, I am getting transferred back to my old store at weeks end, and then Anthrocon that weekend. I think my month plus in the other store has made me less complacent and will take a bigger role in running the store and not relying on the Asm to get things rolling. Also soon my laptop will be sent out to be fixed, possibly form only three days. Where's my ultra-cool con badge like Arc's?

Through An Open Door

Guardian, Challenger, Guide

[1]
Anpu, Guardian, Challenger, Guide
He who opens the ways
Jackal black with my heart in his hands
Waiting to be weighed.

[Refrain]
Tepy-Dju-Ef
Wepwawet
Khenty-Seh-Netjer
Imy-ut
Khenti-imentiu
Yinepu and Neb-Ta-Djeser

[2]
You who formed my eternal ba
Father of my self
You who know my truest Name
Let me honor you.

[3]
Guide me through the shadows of night
Challenge me in the dark
Guard me when I cannot guard myself
Open the ways of my heart.

[4]
I shall follow ma'at in word and deed
Keep my feet from isfet
Balance my heart with the Feather of Truth
I live in ma'at.

[5]
Dua Anpu, Lord of the West
I accept your challenge!
I will not flee, nor will I back away
I am your own!

Names And Numbers

In the year 8000 BC there were only 5000 people in the entire world.

There will be 8 Billion in 2088.

According to 2002 data:

* The number who have ever been born is 106,456,000,000
* The world population in mid-2002 was 6,215,000,000
* The percentage of those ever born who were living in 2002 was 5.8%

150,000 people die every day now. On average, 1.8 people die every second.

on D-Day 150,000 troops stormed Normandy beaches. About 2,500 GI's died on the beaches and 2,600 paratroopers died. And 3,100 Germans died. About 8200 people. The entire human race's population plus 2000 more in 8000 BC.

Back then, a death was a tragedy, today its merely a tiny tiny minuscule number. One Six Billionth of a percent.

Whats your number?
