Eternity Counter?

Thanks to a junk mail packet in todays mailbox, I stumpled upon some interesting info to share. Seems a religious orgainzation claims to keep up with the "eternity clock" at thier headquarters. And that it registers how many people in our world have died since the year began.

According to the "eternity counter" 150,000 people in our world will die just today. And what I found very astonishing was that it states that already, this year, 2010, that 50 million people worldwide have died.Wow. That's a huge number. So large my mind cannot really comprehend it. But I know it's huge.

Have you ever heard of the "eternity counter" before?
