Muchly for my own ref, but maybe you like to geek out about speculative numbers, too:
“How Many People Have Ever Lived on Earth?“
A hundred billion in just the last 50,000 years? Whoa, I’d never have guessed the prolificacy of homo sapiens.
Do you realize if you stood them up one after another… you’d have a line of people that’d be one hundred billion people long!?!? :P
Where’s Carl Sagan when you need him? Oh wait… he’s number 998,848,734,062 in line.
Or you can find him here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRUDStCaLTM
