people counting

Came across something interesting at Shanghai Railway Station whilst en route to Suzhou the other day:


It's a people counter! This, ladies and gentlemen, is how many people are alive in China as of Thursday 1st March 2007, 13:34 (Beijing time). Well, according to Shanghai municipal government it is, who I assume commissioned the counter. 1.318 billion people! That's a fair number!
