Where do they find the time?

An interesting article I stumbled upon puts forth these interesting statistics:

    Number of human hours invested in creating/editing/updating Wikipedia:  100 Million (worldwide, total)

    Number of human hours spent watching TV: 200 Billion (in the US alone, this year)

    Number of human hours spent in the US watching TV ads, over the last weekend: 100 Million

There's also more goodness about the industrial revolution being fueled by Gin, and four-year-olds who think that TV sets come with a mouse attached. ....
