  How many differerent langauges has Genesis been translated into? Does anyone have a reliable source for an estimate?

  This is a really old question that I asked. But since the only answer I got is not even close to the scale that I know to be true, I thought it might be prudent to add that the number of translations is currently closer to 800 or so. Though, as one might guess, I don’t have a source for that number.

  What is the percentage of the world's immigration that goes to the US?

  I think thats one of the ways that different think tanks/studies manipulate the numbers. Of course there is no “official” or standard definition of immigration that everyone agrees on. Some of the material I looked at mentioned the criteria of “with intent to live there” and they referred to an “indefinite” intent. Sooo, forever I guess. I would imagine that the UN numbers are lower because they “believe” the people who claim to be in another country temporarily, or for seasonal work or some such.

  What is the percentage of the world's immigration that goes to the US?

  so looking around little more on the beautiful tubes of the internet, its looks like Harp found the answer for total people living outside their country of birth, and the number of them that live in the US. I did manage to find, for the enjoyment of others who arrive here in the future in the midst of some semi fruitful google search, that the UN says that there is around 2.3 million people each year who move to another country with the intent to live there. The same study says that 1.4 million of them move to “North America.” Other stats indicate that the US gains around 1 million immigrants per year (of course, plenty of people/think tanks are interested in inflating that number to no end, but whatever). So, to conclude, yearly percentage of world immigration that goes to the US might be around 43% or so? Still way less than 70%.

  why do some guys leave the seat up?

  I stand when I pee, and when I pee I raise the toilet seat. thus I avoid the potential (there is always a potential) of leaving some drops on the seat. of course, these drops can be wiped up, however, wiping leaves a residue, which can become sticky and upleasant to sit upon. I happen to put the seat down after peeing, out of habit at this point (strong mother). I would be distressed to find that the men I live with never raise the seat (and pee upright)...
