My place on Earth.

[GaryA]

I've looked at how they have calculated the total number of people born and its so littered with guesstimates that the figure is meaningless
>85 billion? come off it

For some interesting numbers about populations, health, wealth etc, you may want to watch some of these talks by Hans Rosling and have a play on his free software (now provided by Google) Gapminder.

(What do they mean by since history began? The graph shows 1500, but that's very late! There is no date on which history began, it depends where you are.)

Yes there is!

In 1664 Bishop James Ussher wrote "Annales veteris testamenti, a prima mundi origine deducti" and dated creation as the evening of 23rd October 4004 BC

No way that he could be wrong

I'm:

When you were born, you were the: 3,671,671,704th person alive on Earth
77,791,852,122nd person to have lived since history began

Others seem to be fairly close to this number as well!

 

[Simba]

When you were born, you were the:
4,455,586,594th person alive on Earth
79,045,379,752nd person to have lived since history began

I was number 2,590,094,155th. All you damn, late arrival blow ins have been clogging up the place ever since.

Number 4,599,780,477 (give or take 349,079) says sorry 'bout that, but it isn't my fault my parents decided to get it on, and make me just one of 349,079 people born on that infamous day in 198... I'll see if you can work it out


I guess that if I was a train then I'd be a Class 4 Billion
