Oh well, back to the drawing board.
"My friend, Zhang, doesn't believe I can collect one million soldiers by 209 BC. I'm gonna prove him wrong, but I need your help. (Or you'll be beheaded.) Thanks, Qin."
Our time is gentler -- the Age of the Giraffes.
> ... I can collect one million soldiers by 209 BC.
How many drawings and human-shaped sculpture are there on those social sites? I doubt there's more than the 6.8 billion you quote from wikipedia.
Having built machines that could compute billions of cycles per second and then having connected them with networks signaling each other across the planet at fearsome rates, I have wondered what the next step for our people would be.
Now I know. Now we might all gaze upon representations of giraffes and if we are worthy, we might contribute our own representation in a symbolic joining with the whole of the great human project.
I was somewhat amazed by those stats: I thought Americans would have contributed the most. Is there something I should know about Germans and Giraffes that I do not know?
[2] "I found 9 988 giraffes created by people named Ediktonia!"
The actual statistic is that 2% of all Germans who submitted giraffes were named Sanne and 5% were named Ediktonia. It doesn't say they were all the same person.
Nothing to do with me, but I watch with interest. Sadly I can't send a photo of my giraffes because she's store-bought.

Singular. I only own one, although I have ridden several.
And I love the guessing game with the age of the submitter, I only wish the server wasn't getting slammed 'cause it takes too long to get the response.
So far I'm 6 votes in with 3.7 years avg difference so far, it's a pretty great idea, though I wonder if it selects based on users so you don't get shown consecutive (or even in the vicinity in the case of the mass posters another comment mentioned) giraffes from the same artist.
Personally, I think these works are kind of taking the piss.
As countries grow in wealth and life expectancy, the number of children per woman tends to drop off drastically.
I should have a photo somewhere ...
