Pretty sure the "1 with a computer" thing is probably a few more than that now... this email has been circulating for quite a while.

Well I've heard that 99.3% of all statistics are made up, so whether or not it's true is completely eclipsed by whether it is reasonable.
So I'd say that to compress everyone on the planet down to 100 people would make for some really huge people and probably a lot of pink goo, kinda
like that stuff they use in hamburgers for fast food.
