Here's Your Chance to Conceive the 300 Millionth American!
According to a New York Times story today, U.S. census experts believe that the 300 millionth American will be born some time in October.
More specifically, the article says that census researchers believe the US population to be at just below 297,900,000 as of yesterday. Given the fact that a baby is born in the US every eight seconds, someone dies every 12 seconds and someone immigrates every 31 seconds, that puts us on track to surpass the 300 million population mark sometime in October, just over nine months from today. This means now's your chance to conceive that baby and make demographic history. Better get cracking, people. -andy
