So someone said that the seventh billion person alive is going to be born today. I was hoping that it would be me, but apparently having been born previously precludes me from that honor.
Just a minute ago I became curious as to approximately how many people have ever lived on earth. My search ninja skills brought me to the Population Reference Bureau, who estimate* that around 107,602,707,791 people have been born. The current population count they have is just under 7 billion, so I took the liberty of adding the difference, and that gives us 107,615,707,791. Yes, some of the numbers are different.
Happy birthday, 107,615,707,791st person ever! I got you this blog post.
*They use the word "guesstimate" which never fails to creep me out. Is it a guess? Is it an estimate? Is it a silly buzzword? Ding ding ding!
