World Clock gives up-to-the-minute World Population figures. See it change before your startled eyes. I'm not talented at arithmetic, but I'm predicting that the World Population will be 6,666,666,666 on 2 March 2008. What's your guess?
(Today it's 6,655,470,000 more or less)

Jerry, you posted this site before, and I noticed this then. Do you find some of the categories they choose to identify as a bit, shall we say, politically inspired? I am speaking of the US illegal immigration population and abortions. Just wondering. Beyond that, I find it a great site.

The U.S. prison population -- right now at 2,274,296 -- bothers me a lot. When we consider that about half of them are there because they violated the insane laws against marijuana, a truly benign substance, and when we consider that it is costing us about $65 per day to provide each of them with shelter, food, clothing, and medical care, while eliminating them from being taxpayers .... yes, it bothers me.
