"a compendium of revealing stats"

here are a couple of interesting tidbits i picked up from Fortune. and i quote...

"10 - the number of female CEOs in the Fortune 500. a small number, but up from just one decade ago. together, these women oversee $101 billion or 1% of Fortune 500 sales. the woman in command if the biggest company this year is CEO Brenda Barnes of Sara Lee (No. 111), which has $19.7 billion in sales."
GIRL POWER!!! watch out, guys!

"990 billion - the number of cigarettes sold globally last year by the the Phillip Morris divisions of Altria (No. 20), making it the second-largest cigarette manufacturer worldwide, after China National Tobacco, which most recently reported 2004 sales of 1.9 trillion cigarettes."
1.9 trillion!!! China National Tobacco. pffft. oh well, if it means that china people will die faster, *shrugs*. haha.
