World Clock Full of Misleading (and Wrong) Precision
Recently, Jack sent me a link to a World Clock site. The site appears to offer the exact time for whatever time zone you are in. But it also presents what can only be termed estimates, at best, for the number of births, deaths, abortions, U.S. divorces, etc. since the beginning of the the year.

And it also purports to provide the earth's average temperature, a figure which Chris Essex and Ross McKittrick argue has no meaning in the realm of thermodynamics (see this).
