Soooo...... am I the only one who noticed Africa was annotated with a black coloured human, and Asia with a yellow one.
Haha yeah me too. It's like Power Rangers all over again.

It's an indication to scroll to the right.
It's an indication to scroll to the right that masquerades as link to see more, then leaves you annoyed that it didn't work if you're actually foolish enough to try and click on a link to see more wee little people icons.
It's at this point that you realize you have better things to do with your life anyway.

#24"How big is this page? Huge! The exact size depends on the screen resolution on your PC, but the page is almost 1 mile (1.6 Km) high and 800 feet (250 m) wide." Wow - pretty crazy.
Am amazed browsers can even render a page that big.

#25Some people might find blue europeans, red americans and green australians racist.

#26Reminds me of a (dumb) idea I had for a social networking site that was inspired by the million dollar homepage: show 1 million user accounts on one page, no scrolling. Every user can choose the color of their pixel. With zooming in or multiple pages, that could be extended to everyone, but I thought a million people would be pretty cool. Isn't quite as cool with the few dozen people that showed up though. http://hum…

#27Everyone could fit in a cube 1.1 miles on a side.
Let's say each person gets a 72 inch tall, 30 inch wide, 20 inch deep box. That's about 28 cubic feet per person. If you stacked all 7B of these next to each other in a cube, you'd have a cube with a side of just 1.1 miles.

#28Would be cool if new people kept popping on top at the average rate people are born. also a good opportunity to stop such cruel segregation practices, and just mix up the folks at the rate they are born. The new generations should know no race.
To keep things squared, you'd have to cross out people at the rate they die as well.
And although the colors may suggest otherwise, the 5 continents division is not based on race but rather on location.

#29This page makes my vertical scrollbar disappear when I go beyond ~70% of the page downwards. Chrome 24 on Windows 7, pretty common setup I'd say.

I was playing around with Humbit and actually it is pretty cool =). But it is not that useful and gets boring after a few minutes. You could make it more dynamic or something to make users want to use it more.
