World Population to Hit 6,666,666,666 in May

Naturally if "666" doesn't strike a chord with you then this means little. But if you know "666" is the Number of the Beast, you might find this interesting.

According to the U.S. World POPClock Projection page, at the time of this writing, the world's population is estimated to be 6,661,716,069. Their projections for May and June say:

05/01/08: 6,664,737,085
06/01/08: 6,671,275,141

Yep, sometime in May we will hit the 6,666,666,666 mark. Of course, to me that's not as scary as the 9 billion mark we are supposed to hit by 2050, but that's for different reasons.
