I can't quibble with the survey data, however the stated number of
humans is off by over 20%. A billion here, a billion there, soon we'll

The World Population Clock
by Germ�n and Nicol�s Rodr�guez
If you have a java-enabled browser you will see our World Population
Clock dynamically updated at every tick of the clock.
This clock is synchronized with the World Population Clock at the U.S.
Census Bureau.
(THE CLOCK CURRENTLY READS OVER 5,923,345,000, compared to 4,823,000,000
above)
