The most typical face on the planet

[Korten12]

From Yahoo: http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/20110303/us_yblog_thelookout/the-most-typical-face-on-the-planet

National Geographic Magazine released a video clip, below, showing the most "typical" human face on the planet as part of its series on the human race called "Population 7 billion."

The researchers conclude that a male, 28-year-old Han Chinese man is the most typical person on the planet. There are 9 million of them.

The image above is a composite of nearly 200,000 photos of men who fit that description.

Don't get used to the results, however. Within 20 years, the most typical person will reside in India.

Pretty intestering, not the most shocking results but its pretty cool.

What the hell does spends 8 some such hours a day collecting water mean?
Drinking it?
100 Gallons? That can't be right. Unless they mean things like hydro-electric power and the typical amount of trace water used when driving a car... okay nevermind

What the hell does spends 8 some such hours a day collecting water mean?

It probably means collecting it. So walking there, picking it up, and coming back enough times to have enough water. Average walking speed is 3 miles an hour. If your water is several miles away, and you need to make several trips because being malnourished and poor limits your carrying capacity, it seems that spending all day collecting water is possible.

100 Gallons? That can't be right. Unless they mean things like hydro-electric power and the typical amount of trace water used when driving a car... okay nevermind

Average shower puts out about 2.5 gallons per minute. Three people, each having a 15-minute shower, adds up to 112.5 gallons.

100 gallons per household per day in the USA seems entirely feasible to me.
