Seven billion - this weekend

People that is. We are supposed to seven billion people in the world this weekend. That's 7,000,000,000.

It was only 1999 that we hit 6 billion... According to Wikipedia, that's actually slowed down a little.

But even so, it is still going to go a whole lot higher before it turns the corner. There'll be a lot of pain for so many people between now and then...
