Ten Sixes

I remember being amazed by the Reader's Digest Atlas that Cousin Eddie from Santa Fe gave to me in 1964, and its predictions that the world's population would reach six million by the year 2000. Such a rapidly-growing number!

And that prediction came true, right on schedule!

On May 10, 2008, the world's population will reach 6,666,666,666.

[Update: Steve points out that I meant "billion", not "million", but really, who's counting?]
