I was reading in the paper about the Air and Water Show going on in Chicago this weekend. They are expecting upwards of 2 million people to attend! Geez. That's a friggin lot of people. I once went to the fireworks in Chicago and they say there was a million people at that one. Believe me, it was ALOT of people. I just don't remember these huge numbers when I was growing. I wondered if the population has really gone up so much. I was kinda surprised. Take a look at these numbers. I started with my birth year and looked at every 20 yrs after.
1960- 179,323,175
1980- 226,545,805
2000- 281,421,906
And in 2010 it was 308,745,538! Total population of the WORLD in 14 AD was 300 million! More people live in the United States right now than there were in the entire world back then. Pretty awesome if you think about it.
I did some math and since I was born there are about 130 million more people now than then. No wonder the fun stuff is more crowded. So, I'm thinking, could ya'll extra people move somewhere so I can have more room?
