Who in the World....
This is fascinating.
When I was born, I was the 3,606,956,006th person alive on Earth.
Since then, the population has doubled.
No wonder naresourcesourses are reducing at an alarming rate hock:

Aren't such things meaningless as you have to take into account deaths too? You could be the 5,300,000,000th person but so could thousands of other people!
One perhaps more interesting question, how many humans has there ever been?!Please 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums

Every Single one is either a centrally planned, anti-free market economy or trying to dig itself out of the morass from the very same type of Government.
Then you have places like Singapore and Hong Kong which had zero resources and yet have flourished due to free market principles.

"You were the "320,916,744th person"
I was born in 1047 and have access to time travel. I was 19 when the Normans showed up. That was dead confusing, there were about 15,000 blokes all with the same name.
Conveniently they decided that the best place to have a fight was at the appropriately named place called Battle. They must have landed on the coast, saw the signs for the A2100 south of John's Cross which read "Battle" and thought "Let's go there!" *
*actually this story is bollocks, here are the numbers for people who like that sort of thing:
- 4,325,802,946th
- 78,842,900,479thThe Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

There may be enough room for us all live, but food and far more pressingly, clean water, are finite resources.All other opinions are wrong....

It would be very impossible to be the only person to be born on a given date in the whole world. Population is increasing and we can't stop it.
