  The World at 7 Billion-What is your number?   I was #2,785,720,545th

I was off the chart, but extrapolating, I'd probably be somewhere in the first couple hundred million. My current mundane persona was 2,633,982,658.  I remember when I was in the 5-6 grade, thinking that the point in time when we hit 6 billion was soooo far off, and now we're approaching 7 billion.

Don't even get me started on that subject. That is so wrong on so many levels.

"Opinion polls now indicate more than 50 per cent of the American people believe there is an extraterrestrial presence and more than 80 per cent believe the government is not telling the truth about this phenomenon."

Huh ?  80 percent believes their government lies to them ?  Astonishing revelation, no ?
