I mean come on! The dude that made this piece has serious "issues".

Clearly he did:

Babbage once contacted the poet Alfred Tennyson in response to his poem "The Vision of Sin". Babbage wrote, "In your otherwise beautiful poem, one verse reads,

Every moment dies a man,
Every moment one is born.

... If this were true, the population of the world would be at a standstill. In truth, the rate of birth is slightly in excess of that of death. I would suggest [that the next version of your poem should read]:

Every moment dies a man,
Every moment 1 1/16 is born.

Strictly speaking, the actual figure is so long I cannot get it into a line, but I believe the figure 1 1/16 will be sufficiently accurate for poetry."

Still, what he came up with was very impressive, the man was far ahead of his time.

There's actually a short cut, grab the nearest phone book and count up all the 'Kim's

That went completely over my head, is there a cultural reference I'm missing?
