The 300 millionth American will be born around 06:45 today or will cross the border from Mexico. The United States Census Bureau isn’t exactly sure how it will happen, but it is sure it’s going to be today. Both legal and illegal immigrants are counted in population tallies. A population clock can even be seen on the Web site here, racking up the people in real time. More on the story here.Tuesday, October 17, 2006

It always amazes me that Australia, which has about the same land mass as the US, has only about 20 million people. Here in South Australia, arid though it is for most of the land area, there are only 1.5 million people in an area of 1 million square kilometres.
