What’s your number, baby? « Posted: 07 November 2011 at 05:08 AM »
The world's population is expected to hit seven billion in the next few weeks. Where do you fit into this story of human life? Open the following link and put in your date of birth to find out - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-15391515

Me? I was the 2,330,854,575th person alive on Earth!  I suppose that that is my one claim to fame!  Cheesy

Happy birthday Trigger (I know it is early but I might forget in the next 12 days)

I am number 2,673,958,280 (along with everyone else born on the same day)

Must be a big guess because there will be hundreds of babies born the same day

My birthdate comes up with a figure 2,254,153,674 so bearing in mind FC's question I then put in the numbers for the following day - the result was 2,254,218,699. This gives an increase of 65,025. So no doubt the 'brains' behind these statistics have worked out that I must be one of those 65,025!!!!!!
I haven't tried any other consecutive dates but I assume that the 'daily' figures for 'my year' are pretty much the same and as the population increases then that daily figure will also increase. 
If Sir Terry Wogan ever bothers to put in his date of birth he'll find he has the same number as me!!!!

FC.  Applying a little more thought on the matter these figures show that - if global population is now 7 billion then if my number comes up around 2.2 billion, this must mean that there are 2.2 billion people or so OLDER than me and 5.8 billion people or so who are YOUNGER than me who are alive on this planet today.  With 2.2 billion elderly people 'passing wind', coupled with millions of cows etc., perhaps this is the reason for ozone layer depletion and global warming!!!! Grin Huh
