we be breading like rabbits.

Scary isn't it. I wonder how things will pan out in terms of resources and food in the future.

plant your corn early someday you may need it.

I wonder how much of the population jump represented there is just from better record keeping.

Very little I presume. You can visit anywhere and see the fact that world population numbers are exponential.

I actually meant the older ones. Your numbers go back to 1804. It's pretty clear that we're growing faster, but I'm just wondering about the accuracy of the 19th-early 20th century numbers.

Educated guesses is the best you are going to get.

7 Billion People?

That was so yesterday!

I didn't read it yesterday. Damn. That's a lot of humans.

I was being funny- like it is rising so fast that the number is no longer correct!

We need to cut down on the Baby making music.

Then Barry White would have to join the unemployment ranks! No way!
