Yeah, I'm Number 3,088,238,983

There is a fun little tool on BBC News website that estimates where you fit into the human population currently and historically.  My all-time number is 76,785,596,535 of all humans who have lived on the planet.  While the numbers are far from accurate - though, if they factored in time of date of birth they might get closer - it is a good exercise in coming to grips with the runaway human population as it currently stands.  I encourage you to check it out.  While there, give some consideration to how you would feed all these people considering the desertification of much of the earths habitable zones. Sorry to scare you but, it is halloween.
