World Population to Hit 6,666,666,666
World Population to Hit 6,666,666,666 in May
April 16th, 2008 Author Robert Roy Britt World Population to Hit 6,666,666,666 in May Too many people, this means nothing. But of course 666 refers to the Beast in the Bible. Heaven knows what ten sixes means. I don’t know who first noticed this looming numerical curiosity, but it was mentioned today on the Drudge report. To see the projection, go to the U.S. Census Bureau’s World POPClock Projection page. There you’ll find these projections among others: 05/01/08 6,664,737,085 06/01/08 6,671,275,141 So sometime in between May 1 and June 1, the gaggle-of-sixes milestone will be passed. (I say gaggle rather than googol, which is a 1 followed by 100 zeros. I could also have used a gazillion or a jillion or a bazillion, all of which are just figures of speech meaning “a lot.” Clearly, the number of people on Earth is a lot more than umpteen.) The Census Bureau of course never knows exactly how many people are on the planet, or even in the United States for that matter. It’s all estimates. Just fun. The last big “six scare” was 06/06/06 (June 6, 2006). We survived that, so I imagine we’ll get through this one. (For the record, 07/07/07 came and went last year without any documented cases of extreme luck directly attributed to the date, and coming up later this year: 08/08/08.)

How do they really know how many babies are out there? They don't. They only have the reported numbers. So many babies are born in the jungle, safari, on the Nile river, in the streets (sad), etc.
666...not a comfortable number for me. If the cash register rang $6.66 (that's happened a few times), I always paid an extra penny. $6.67. Whew. One time a friend ordered 6 Route 66 drinks from Sonic...I was like, "Um, can we please order one more?" He said, "Why? There are only six of us!" I had to think a minute..."Oh! I'm pregnant, so really there's seven of us!" I didn't want to admit that I hated the number. ![]() |

If there was to be a correlation between the "666" of the bible, it probably would've happened on 6/6/06 since that is actually three 6's.
